These are worn on the neck, chest, legs, and hands. The aniyalangal consists of the following species: kaivḷla, kaṭakam, cūdakam, kaiyyura, chennipathi, chilambu, paṭṭu and ppā dakam, thalapthalapā li, manikayalu etc. To keep the aṇiyalam safe and to carry it, a rectangular box is used which is made by the vēlans.
