Toe rings have been worn by women for in the past century as a symbol of tradition. 


However today toe rings are more of a fashion statement than cultural ornament. 


Traditionally a small ring was worn on the second toe of the left foot to indicate a married status. The reason may be it is the longest toe and thus the easiest toe to put a ring on and stay without being connected to anything else. Nowdays ToeRings(Metti) are available in many ornate designs.

 It is called bichiya  in Hindi, jodavi(जोडवी) in Marathi, Mettelu (మెట్టెలు) in Telugu, Metti in Tamil (மெட்டி), Kaalungura in Kannada.
