Handmade wooden gilli danda toy that is 100% safe, free from toxic paints, plastics and batteries so that your child can have fun in the healthiest possible way! Gilli danda is one of the oldest games in India. The game requires two sticks, a large one called a danda which is used to hit a smaller one, the gili. Standing in a small circle, the player balances the gili on a stone in an inclined manner (somewhat like a see-saw) with one end of the gili touching the ground while the other end in the air. The player then uses the danda to hit the gili at the raised end and flips it into the air. While it is in the air, the player strikes the gili, hitting it as far as possible. Having struck the gili, the player is required to run and touch a pre-agreed point outside the circle before the gili is retrieved by an opponent. Another way of playing is once the gili falls, the opponent will measure the length from the centre till the place where the gili falls with the help of the danda and calculates points. Every toy is designed by our in-house creators and handcrafted by our local artisan in Channapatna.
