It is rung to ward off evil, purify the surroundings, and focus the mind during prayers. The bellâs sound is believed to represent âOmâ, 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.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;ð¡ Why Choose This Piece?\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\tâ¢\tGenuine antique from Indian spiritual tradition\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\tâ¢\tGreat for collectors of religious or ritual artifacts\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\tâ¢\tFunctional and symbolicâideal for altars, yoga rooms, or display\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;A meaningful piece of devotional history with both spiritual and aesthetic presence.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53883068547419,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/4986\/3003\/files\/57_4663e5c1-d4a7-4c64-9d29-a56dbbe99632.jpg?v=1787724503","url":"https:\/\/gifteduk.com\/products\/antique-indian-puja-brass-bell-3-5a-hindu-temple-ritual-handbell-deity-handle","provider":"Gifted UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
