This game was documented by Chhanda Mukhopadhyay and Krishna Basu from Kantabania in Baleshwar district of Orissa from informants aged six to ten years. They are members of the Bauri community and this game was popular amongst them.
This is a two player game. A circle is drawn of about eight to twelve inches radius on the ground with brick pieces or chalk. At the centre of the circle the players assemble broken pieces of glass bangles of different colours to play this game. - Rules (dcterms:instructionalMethod)

The glass pieces are used as pawns or pieces to play the game. The number of pieces vary from twenty to thirty or even more, depending on the availability of the pawns. A small wooden stick around three or four inches is also required to play the game.
Players are required to throw each bangle piece separately with the help of the stick outside the circle without touching other pieces or the boundary of the circle. The player who throws the maximum number of pawns outside the circle wins the game. - Creator (dcterms:creator)
