The anklets are called “kholkhal”. They can be made from solid gold or silver. Such anklets were a wedding gift or dowry that the bride-to-be received from her future husband before the wedding. She wore it during the wedding celebration that traditionally lasted up to 7 days in the past. Afterwards, she could wear the kholkhal whenever she wanted. Today, this tradition has practically vanished.
