Khanak is a handcrafted piece of jewelry designed for dancers, seamlessly blending traditional aesthetics with rhythmic expression. Inspired by ghunghroo — the bell anklets worn by classical Indian dancers — Khanak adorns the hands with gentle chimes that echo the grace and heritage of Indian dance. Named after the Hindi word khanak, meaning the jingling sound of bells, this piece transforms every gesture into music, inviting people to learn new dance forms.
