A gungroo/Goengroe is a traditional Indian musical instrument consisting of small brass bells worn around a dancer’s ankles. It produces a characteristic chime-like sound that helps the dancer keep pace with the rhythm and timing of the dance. The gungroo is an important element of classical Indian dances such as Bharatanatyam and Kathak, and plays both a musical and spiritual role in the dance performance. The sound is often associated with a connection to the divine and contributes to the aesthetics of the dance.
