Playing Moment
Danguli is one of the most popular rural games in Bangladesh and North India. Usually teenage boys play this game. In North India its name is Goli Danda. After the advent of cricket, its popularity has decreased a lot. In Bangladesh, the game is known as Dangbari, Gutbari, Tamdang, Vatadanda etc. depending on the region. There are two playing instruments –
a one and a half to two feet long stick (dang or danda)
The other is a ball which looks round in name but is not round, but is actually another small stick about two inches long with two ends.

Danguli is a popular game in all parts of Bengal. It is mainly played by young boys; Girls don’t usually play danguli. It can be played in groups of two to five-six people. A stick one and a half cubits long and a stout stick of about one cubit are the playing instruments. The first is called Danda and the second is Guli or Futti. First a small hole is made in the Open field. One of the recipients of the donation puts a bullet over the hole and tries to drive it away with a stick. Opposing players stand around and try to scoop it up. If they succeed, the player is out, and if they fail to catch, they have to aim and throw at the stick placed over the hole. If touched he loses the donation, otherwise he picks it up with a stick and sends it away again. Then he started measuring from the bullet to the hole with a stick.
Regional names for up to seven sizes are: Bari, Duri, Tedi, Chaghal, Champa, Jhenk, Mek. There is one flower or cluster in seven such sizes and one red in seven flowers. Where the broken flower case ends, the next game begins. House, Duri, etc each mare has different method. One player can play until he is out, if he is out the second player will play in the same manner.
Even though the evening is approaching, the game is not over
Rules of the game:
Hitting the pointed end of the bullet with a stick makes it jump. After that, in that leaping position, he had to be struck a second time with a stick and sent far away.

Accidents often occur when the bullet hits the eye. The sheer speed and sharp edge injuries after the second hit made the game accident-prone. Danguli or ball games were collected in many different times and regions. Somewhat specifically, danguli, or goli, were played in which one or more goals were made freely, and they aimed to place each other in institutional positions.
