About Hindu Puja Bells:

Known as a ghanta in Sanskrit, the ritual bell is a vital part of Hindu worship (Puja). It is rung to ward off evil, purify the surroundings, and focus the mind during prayers. The bell’s sound is believed to represent “Om”, the sacred universal vibration. Bells featuring deity handles are used in temples and home shrines alike, symbolizing the invitation of divine energy into the space.
