Question

These objects are given to Brahmin children (-5[1])in the Karnavedha ritual. An Indian bell-shaped style of these objects is named for its characteristic jingle. The largest of three ornaments in these objects’ girandole style evolved into the pendeloque style’s single characteristic drop. These objects can be installed after daith or tragus procedures. A large, circular style of these objects rediscovered in King Tut’s tomb was repopularized as a symbol of power for Black and Latina women. (10[2])Dangles are a style of these items that can be installed after using (10[1])a gun named for studs, another type of them.
