Temple bells, popularly known as ‘ghanta’ are one of the most important aspects of worship in a temple. It is said that when one rings the bell while entering the temple for darshan, they inform the deities about their arrival. Also ringing this bell during puja, aarti, bathing the deity or while offering food and flowers is a call to the Lord of the announcement of the ritual to start and invite them to join in and bless the devotees of peace and pleasure. This brass temple bell shown here is a perfect ritual artefact for your temple accessory requirements. It produces the sound of Aum when rung, and this sound disengages the mind from ongoing thoughts, thus focusing on the deity.
This brass temple bell has its smooth and large curve representing Ananta, decorated with stylized layers and précised chisels for a beautified view. The clapper or tongue is a representation of Saraswati, the Goddess of wisdom and knowledge and the handle is prana shakti (vital power). Peacock that sits on its top is add-on ornamentation to the bell, carved in detailed patterns on its body and feathers. The tail curved upwards in a sleek leaf design has outgrown multiple lotus buds along the border. The solid chain attached to the peacock’s head is used for hanging the bell at the entrance of the sanctum.
