Accessory

A payal is an Indian accessory, traditionally worn by women, on their feet. It is best described as an anklet. It's intricacies differ from region to region across the country. Originally made of gold or silver, they have changed over time to accommodate the trends and are also found made of threads of different fibers, plastic and leather.

While originally they were made of only pure metals, with intricate designs carved in them, or 'filigri' work, they are also found with semi-precious and precious stones embedded in them. They would also have tiny bells hanging from them, that made a sound as the wearer moved.

Used in different forms of dance, they are similar to 'ghungroos' but quiter, and perhaps more "delicate". They are worn as part of every Indian dress.
