Nupur is an Indian term for an anklet — a piece of jewellery worn around the ankle, typically made from silver, gold, or beads, and often with small bells that jingle as the wearer moves. Anklets are an important part of traditional Indian adornment, with cultural and sometimes ritual significance. The word is used in classical Indian literature, dance contexts (where ankle bells are essential in forms like Bharatanatyam), and everyday Indian jewellery vocabulary.
The dancer's nupur chimed softly against the wooden floor as she rehearsed the opening sequence.
