ghaṭikā [ghaṭ a+ka] – This term is translated as "tip-cat". An explanatory definition is given in the commentary as, ghaṭikā is "a game played using two sticks: one long and the other short. It is played by hitting the shorter stick with the longer one." Ghaṭikā is still known to South Asian countries, like Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka etc. In Bangladesh it is known as ḍāṅguli khelā. The longer stick in a ḍāṅguli khelā, should be about 1½ ft and the shorter stick about 6 inches. There are certain rules for preparing the sticks and playing the game with them.

Two teams compete, each occupying its own half of the court. They take turns sending a “raider” into the opposing team’s half and earn points if the raider manages to touch opposing team members and return to the home half, all while chanting word “kabaddi”. However, if the raider is tackled and prevented from returning, the opposing team gets the point.
