Lotus feet decorated by jingling anklets.
Anklets jingle only when the feet are moving. As the story goes, Manmatha, the God of amoral love was burnt to ashes by Śiva when he opened his fiery eye of knowledge. Pārvatī, one of the manifestations of Śrī Lalitā, gave back life to Manmatha at the entreaties of all gods and Ratī Devi, wife of Manmatha. The gods argue that without amoral love, all life will have to come to an end, and without it, even the existing life forms would not be worth living. Manmatha, a great devotee of Lalitā, gets a boon from Her to reside in Her jingling anklets so that he can have his sweet revenge on Śiva whenever Śakti is on top of Śiva in amorous play. Since then, the jingling of Her anklets due to the submission of Śiva has never stopped, proclaiming the supremacy of Manmatha.
