Description
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 ghungharu. The traditional form is merely a number of bells woven together on a string. However today it is common to find them stitched to a padded cushion. This may then be strapped to the feet of a dancer. Both forms are shown in the accompanying illustration.

Awesome anklet dancing bells from India Sep 06, 2010
By Terry Groff I was happy to find a source for Ghungharu Anklet Bells at Amazon.com. These were intended as a birthday gift for a beautiful young Hindu I've seen dancing to Indian musical DVDs and CDs. They were delivered in three days from India, not a warehouse in New Jersey! The description was accurate, the bells melodic, and my sweetheart thrilled. She recognizes and values the authentic product. ShalinCraft did me a great service, and I'd made the right choice. My sincere appreciation.
