When rung, the Ghanta is said to clean the environment and defend against negative energy. It can also be utilized as a part of Buddhist and Hindu meditation and chanting activities.

Introduction to Bell

Bell is regarded as one of Buddhism's powerful meditational and ritual symbols. During the rituals or Vajrayana Tantric practice, Ghanta alongside more is used in conjunction. The Dorje is held in the right hand and the bell is in the left and is never isolated from one another. The bell represents the feminine principle as the ‘perfection of wisdom which directly perceives emptiness (shunyata). It is defined as "proclaiming the sound of nothingness," which originates from the voidness of its shape, radiates in all directions, and then dissipates back into silence or emptiness. Its hole, or mouth,' represents nothingness, while its clapper, or 'tongue,' represents the shape.
