A traditional Spanish game has unexpectedly sparked nostalgia across India after videos of Billarda, a centuries-old sport played in Spain's Galicia region, went viral on social media.
The clips show players placing a small stick on a larger one, flicking it into the air and striking it toward a target. For Spaniards, it's Billarda. For many Indians watching online, however, it looked exactly like gilli danda, a game generations grew up playing in streets, villages and playgrounds.
