Meaning of ghungroo | Babel Free

Definitions

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.”
