product description:
Planes and Directions ● As with other swinging toys, begleri can be played in any orientation. This can be described most easily in terms of three planes of space:
1. Bike plane/ Wheel plane: The begleri is played vertically, in the up/ down/ forward/ backward plane, similar to the plane on which a bike is pedalled.
2. Wall plane: The begleri is played vertically, in the up/ down/ left/ right plane--the plane of a wall if the player had their back against it.
3. Floor plane: The begleri is played horizontally, in the left/ right/ forward/ backward plane--the plane of the floor.
● Because begleri is played in different planes, common terms like clockwise and counter-clockwise can create confusion about the direction of movement. Plain language such as
upward/ downward work fine for most swinging/ flipping movements, but rolls are a special case because at any given moment,the two beads are travelling in opposite directions.
In addition, the plane of rotation affects the perceived direction of the beads. Therefore, the terms inside and outside are more suitable:
1. Inside roll/ movement: The direction of movement when the bead is farthest away from the body is upwards, towards the head/ body/ thumb.
2. Outside roll/ movement: The direction of movement when the bead is farthest away from the body is downwards, away from the head/ body/ thumb.
