He sings – Ghora Jawar Khaye and all others respond by saying – Jo Piche Dekhe Maar Khaye. The participants are required to look in front.
They cannot turn their neck but can move their eyeballs. ‘It’ tries to drop the Kodha behind any one without letting him know. ‘It’ continues to run in the same direction. If a person finds that ‘It’ has dropped the Kodha behind him, he lifts it and chases ‘It’ in order to hit the ‘It’ with Kodha. The ‘It’ has to take a round and sit in his place.
The player with the Kodha becomes a new It’. If a player fails to detect the Kodha behind, ‘It’ after taking a round, lifts the Kodha and hits the player. The player runs, takes a round and sits in his place. “It’ starts the game again and the game continues in a similar manner.
Precaution: The players shall hit the Kodha only at the back of a participant.
