Kolusu, also known as anklet or payal, is a timeless piece of traditional Indian jewelry worn around the ankles. Most commonly crafted in silver, Kolusu holds a deep cultural and spiritual significance, especially in South India. It is a symbol of femininity, grace, and heritage, often worn during festivals, religious ceremonies, weddings, and daily life.

Kolusu is usually adorned by women and young girls and is often embellished with bells (guguri), engraved patterns, or stone work. The gentle jingling sound of the bells is considered auspicious and is believed to ward off negative energy. In many households, gifting Kolusu to newborns or brides is a cherished tradition.

Depending on design preferences, Kolusu may come in simple everyday styles or more elaborate bridal versions.
