Gilli Danda
What is Gilli Danda?
Gilli Danda is one of India's oldest and most beloved street games — played with two wooden sticks, the Danda (long bat) and the Gilli (small tapered peg). The player uses the Danda to flick the Gilli into the air and strike it as far as possible.
Before mobile games, before screens — there was Gilli Danda. It's a tradition worth passing on.
