Ghungroo pair made in brass mounted on colorful cloth/Silk Yarn/velvet
pads. Handmade Indian Classical Dance Brass Kathak Ghungroo Dancing
Bells Pair.
Ghungroo or dancing bells are musical anklets tied
to the feet of classical Indian dancers. A string of ghungroos can range
from 10 to 200 bells knotted together. Ghungroos are worn in
traditional performances of the classical Indian dance forms.
These
ghungharus are globular bells each about 2 cm in diameter. Dancers
string them on ropes or sew them onto cloth or leather strips and wear
them around ankles. Larger ghungroos may be strung on a circle of wire
and shaken as accompaniment to a song.
They are often fixed to other
instruments to add to the sound. The bells are decorative in themselves
and the cords strung are often bright and finished with tassels.
There
are two common forms of the ghungroo. In traditional form it is merely a
number of bells woven together on a cotton string or cords. And the
same are used in dance forms like Kathak. But these types for anklets
are not cozy for dancers to wear. In modern for these ghungroos are
stitched to a padded cushion made of soft cloth like velvet or soft
leather to make them easy to wear. This may then be strapped to the feet
of a dancer.
