The anklet or rhythmic instrument (talbaja) is also used by folk-dancers in Nepal, where it is called the chap (चाँप).[2][3] Its Nepalese form consists of 9 to 27 small "curling" bronze bells, sewn onto a cloth about 23 cm long x 7.5 cm wide, tied around the ankle, as ornaments.[3][2] The Nepalese may choose different chaps, according to the lyrics of the song, choosing ones with smaller or larger arrangements of bells.[3] The bells are called Ghunguru (घुँघुरा).[2]
Ghunghroo vadan
Ghunghroo vadan is a music style evolved by V. Anuradha Singh, an Indian classical kathak exponent. She developed bells as a main musical instrument and performs in many pure music festivals where dance is not allowed. Ghunghroo vadan focuses solely on foot movement as percussive art (100 minutes, non-stop in one place).
