A small metallic bell, usually part of a set strung together and worn on an anklet, especially by classical Indian dancers.

Examples

“Every dancer cherishes her ghungroos, and no wonder⟳. From the time she first learnt to use⟳ her feet in step, they have⟳ been with her in ever-increasing numbers, and now, at the height of her artistic maturity, two-hundred or more adorn her ankles where once there had been only ten or twenty.”

“His other meagre finds include⟳ a lone ghungroo—a tiny silver orb that once belonged on an anklet—and what might have⟳ once been a copper nose pin.”
