Lagori, dikori or lagoori, also known as Lingocha,Pithu(Punjabi), Palli Patti(Karimnagar),Pitto(Rajasthan), Pittu (Bengal) or Satoliya (madhya pradesh ) is a game in India involving a ball and a pile of flat stones, generally played between two teams in a large outdoor area. A member of one team (the seekers) throws a tennis ball at a pile of stones to knock them over. The seekers then try to restore the pile of stones while the opposing team (the hitters) throws the ball at them. If the ball touches a seeker, he is out and his team continues without him. A seeker can always safeguard himself by touching an opposite team member before the ball hits him.
