This game has been documented by Charu Chandra Das Gupta and the informant was a staff of the Nalanda Museum in Bihar. He explains it to be a kind of 'solitaire' as only one man plays it. He mentions the rules of the game as given below. He also finds similarity of this game with another game mentioned by another scholar, S.L Hora called Lam Turki which was played in Darjeeling, West Bengal. He mentions there are similarities but they are still played differently.
He also mentions in his essay that Humphries, had described a similar game named Kowwa Daud played in the (United Province?) which also had similarities with Nao- Gutiya- Baithaneka.
Apart from similarities what sets this aside from the rest as the name itself is Nao- Gutiya- Baithaneka or placing of the nine pieces but further movement of the pieces remain unclear. - Alternative Title (dcterms:alternative)

- Rules (dcterms:instructionalMethod)
- The process of the game is that the player shall have nine ballets and that he shall have to place one ballet at the crosspoint third from the cross-point whence the move has begun and that this vacant cross-point will be filled up by the second ballet moved from a cross-point third from the said vacant one. In this way all cross-points except one will be filled up. For example, if the first ballet is moved from the crosspoint e, then the move will be as follows: —edb, hfe, ajh, dba, gd, jhg, cbj, fdc, inf.

- Notes (foaf:status)
- To note that in this essay Das Gupta mentions that the "gameness" or this being a game is missing as only placing nine pieces dopes not qualify it as a game. He also notes that it could be possible that the informant forgot about the rules of the game.
