Solah Shringar · 15 of 16

Payal

Also called Paayal, Golusu, Anklets

What it is

Anklets, traditionally of silver, often strung with small bells.

What it signifies

Like bangles, they announce movement. Silver is used rather than gold because in many traditions gold is associated with deities and is not worn below the waist — a convention still widely observed.

Across regions

Called golusu in Tamil and Telugu, painjan in parts of Maharashtra.

Solah Shringar is a cultural tradition rather than a requirement — lists differ by region, and including or omitting any item is an ordinary family choice.
