Bells in India
April 24, 2008
This is one of those images that makes me realize that throughout India, I have very rarely seen bells at the temples. This bell is from a goddess temple in Varanasi and is very elaborate and, I would guess, fairly new. Pujas and yagyas always include bell ringing, but they are small hand held bells, but nothing big like in the churches of Europe. I wonder what the cultural reason for this might be.
