It is particularly popular in the Chittagong region, where it is regarded as the district's traditional national sport. This combat sport incorporates grappling techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins, and other grappling holds. It is one of Chittagong's oldest traditions. The event is held on the 7th day of the first month of the Bengali calendar at Madarsha Union as Mokkaro Boli Khela, and on the 12th day of the same month at Laldighi Maidan as Jabbarer Boli Khela.
