 Gold is considered sacred by Hindus and is worshiped as goddess Lakshmi. Hindus consider feet as unclean and impure. Hence, they don’t wear gold jewellery on feet, as it is considered an insult to goddess Lakshmi. That is except royalty. In days of yore, wearing a gold on feet was a prerogative of royalty, a symbol of being masters of wealth. And it was kings alone who could wear and bestow this privilege on others.

The anklet called tazim is crafted in gold or silver. It is a hereditary chain anklet that was a sign of special recognition and honour granted by a ruler. It was worn on the right ankle; however, when granted in pairs, they were worn on both ankles. The receivers of this ornament were called tazimi sardar and were entitled to several privileges. Princely states such a Jammu and Kashmir, Bikaner, Jaipur all had Tazimi sardars. sometime will write on them too !!!!!
