Are you looking for new ghungroo?

UPDATE: Read the first draft of my free ebook or download.Support independent publishing: Buy this e-book on Lulu.


UPDATE 2018: I found a few e-commerce stores selling Kathak ghungroo on string and loose. Here are few links :

  1. Amazon
  2. Vadaamalar
  3. Dancejewelleryonline
NOTE: Select Kathak ghungroo before confirming your order. I have never ordered from these sites, so I cannot vouch to the quality of ghungroo. If you're interested to tie your own ghungroo then I suggest to buy loose bells.

Update end

10+ years ago, I bought my ghungroo in Koti, Hyderbad.

Back then my guruji suggested me to buy the ghungroo and rope separately and taught me to weave them. Thanks to him, to this day my ghungroo are intact and beautiful. Lately the ghungroo I see on student's feet are small and keep falling off. Anybody who sees my ghungroo can tell they are good quality.

Since I've seen several other students looking for similar kind of ghungroo I think I can help them with this. I am in India right now and plan to find the same vendor for good quality ghungroo.

Please comment below if you know a vendor in Hyderabad or you'd like to buy a pair.


Note: I'll update the vendor details here as soon as I find one.

  1. Hi JP, thanks for creating this blog on Kathak. It seems like a first in this category and is very helpful especially with the audios. Will you also be posting videos at some point?
