Ghungru
is a musical anklet tied to the feet of classical Indian dancers. A
string of ghungroos can range from 50 to 200 bells knotted together.
Ghungroos are worn in traditional performances of the classical Indian dance
forms.
The
sounds produced by Ghungru vary greatly in pitch depending on their metallic
composition and size. Ghungroos serve to accentuate the rhythmic aspects of
the dance and allow complex footwork to be heard by the audience. They are
worn immediately above the ankle, resting on the lateral malleolus and
medial malleolus.
