A payal is
an Indian accessory, traditionally worn by women, on their feet. 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 Originally made of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.
