The ankle bells worn by Indian classical dancers are an essential element of the dance. The sound of the bells highlights the musical accompaniment to the dance, and make very obvious the dancer’s skill and precision. In many classical Indian dance forms, the number of rows increases as the dancer becomes more accomplished (for example, a student may begin with Ghungroo featuring two rows, and a masterful dancer might have four rows, or more). The name for the bells is Ghungroo (Hindi: घुँघरू ), and salangai in Tamil.Pictured: A kuchipudi dancer (top), details (center), and a kathak dancer (bottom).Further reading:KathakBharatanatyamOdissiKuchipudi -- source link
