Gilli Danda

Gilli Danda is a traditional Indian outdoor sport similar to baseball. It involves two main tools: a small, oval-shaped Gilli (similar to a tiny cylinder), and a larger Danda (stick). Players use the Danda to hit the Gilli, aiming to send it as far as possible. The game involves skillful striking and strategic positioning, often played informally in rural areas. It requires minimal equipment, making it accessible and popular among children and communities. Gilli Danda exemplifies indigenous sports that promote agility, coordination, and outdoor activity.
