• A hanging bell, often referred to as a temple bell, ghanta, or Vastu bell, is suspended from a building like a temple or doorway by a chain or rope. These hanging bells hold significance in various religious and spiritual contexts such as Hindu temples, Buddhist monasteries, and other places of worship. They are adorned with symbolic meanings and are believed to bring auspiciousness, purity, and a connection to the divine.
• The ringing of these pooja hanging bells carries great reverence, believed to summon positive energies and spiritual vibrations. This act of bell ringing is a vital element in the ritual devotion (puja) performed by devotees at Hindu temples. The resonating sound serves to announce a devotee’s entry and prayers, capturing the attention of the deities. Beyond this, the ringing of the hanging bell is thought to cleanse the mind and soul, fostering mental clarity, dispelling disturbances, and cultivating a tranquil and meditative ambiance.
