Ans. Indian classical dancers' ghungroos are their instruments. When a dancer performs complex footwork on stage, it is the sound of Ghungroos that allows the audience to appreciate the melody and intricacies that emerge from it. Ghungroos are what give life to the dance of the dancer, and are thus considered sacred to them. This is also why Indian classical dancers always place their Ghungroos in the temples in their classrooms in their Guru’s presence.
