What is Lagori?
Lagori (also Satoliya or Pittu) is a traditional Indian street game where two teams take turns knocking down a stack of seven flat stones with a soft ball from a set distance. The team who knocks them down then races to rebuild the pile while the fielding team tries to hit them with the ball to stop them. The World Lagori Federation began international championships in 2015.
