One player throws a stick hard into a muddy surface so that it becomes lodged upright in the ground, and a second player attempts to throw their stick so that the first stick either falls to the ground, or ends up parallel to the second stick. When rolling the guti, the player sings a melody called ekka-dokka.A player may be ruled out if their guti falls on the line, they choose the incorrect box, they leave their playing area, or places both of their feet inside the box. After taking one complete round, they once more roll the guti from the second box. Then, this guti is rotated by the toes of one foot into the second, the second into the third, and so on up to the fifth box, at which point the player turns back toward their starting position in the same way but in a different direction. The players roll their guti into the first box as they stand in front of the starting line. Every box has a common name, such as EK-ER GHOR (এক এর ঘর) for the first box, DUI-ER GHOR (দুই এর ঘর) for the second box, and so on up to five boxes, but the last large semicircle is known as SAMUNDRA (সমুদ্র). There are other alternative formats, but they all have the same amount of boxes. On the ground, a large box about three yards long is drawn, which is then divided into six smaller ones. It could be flat clay that is rectangular or spherical. It is known locally as guti (গুটি) and is played with a smaller, broken piece of an earthen pot. ![]() One game, ekka-dokka ( Bengali: এক্কা-দোক্কা), often referred to as guti, is typically played by females.
