All eight classical dance forms are primarily region specific, from Manipur in the North East to Kerala in the south, with their distinct rhythm, beauty, costume, music, language, and lyrics, though all are known to have descended from the Natya Shastra and hence borrow heavily from Sanskrit language and literature. Of all the common things, Gunghroo, the ankle bell, is probably the most noticeable and important across all dance forms in India. It is also used in most folk dances of India, sometimes as a piece of the orchestra.Ghungroo, also known as Salangai in Tamil, are small metal bells, mostly made of brass, strung together to form a musical anklet, worn by the dancers be it Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Mohiniyattam or Oddisi. For ease of use, these metallic balls are fixed on a leather or cotton/velvet/Velcro strap that can be easily worn around the ankle of the dancer. The sound produced varies depending on the metal and the size of the individual bell. Worn immediately above the ankle, they are more than a piece of jewelry or adornment. Ranging anywhere from 50 to 200 in number on each anklet, ghungroos help to emphasize the rhythmic facet of the particular dance highlighting the complex footwork attempted by the dancers.The ghungroo gains special significance as it is primarily an ornament that differentiates a dancer from a non-dancer and specifically a dancer ready for performance. In the Devdasi tradition, as most classical dances were, this was of crucial importance, and as such appropriate deference was accorded to it. In Bharatnatyam for example, Gejjai puja or Sailanga Puja, the worshipping of the ghungroos is an important ceremony as a precursor to an Arangetram, the debut on stage. An integral part of Indian classical dance Ghungroos accentuates the rhythmic percussion acoustics produced by the complex foot movements of the dancers.Apart from emphasizing the complexity of the foot movements, the sound produced by the ghungroos also keeps the dancer in tune with the music and stays in rhythm by providing a template. Hence we can say that Ghungroos is almost like a badge for dancers helping them highlight their skills while being decorative and functional at the same time." • Bell Material: Brass • Dance Style: Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Bharata Muni • Total Bells: 20 • Total Liners: 1
