What is "patial"

Patial is a Suryavanshi Rajput clan of Chattari lineage in North India that claims direct descent from Rama Chandra of the Raghav (Raghuvanshi) Rajput clan.

They are a branch of Sisodya Rajputs of Rajputana who moved out of Mewar during the reign of Rana Amar Singh as he accepted the Mughal supremacy of Jehangir and settled in Eastern Hills.

Patial women wear Gold jewellery on their feet as a tradition. Maharani Gayatri Devi of Jaipur explains

Ordinarily, Rajput women and women of all other Kshatriya groups use silver jewellery on their feet.
