In temples there are bells before we reach or bow towards our God/Goddess; these bells have been created to generate a distinctive sound which synchronizes the left and the right brain of a human being. The function of the left brain is to control the entire right side of the body; another function of the left brain is to do all the work of logic whereas the function of the right brain is to control the left side of the body; another function of the right brain is to do the work related with creativity and the arts. The bells when ringed by a person he/she blatantly gets into the environment which is spiritual and holy and he/she forgets all the problems with the mellifluous sound of the bells. The bells when ringed by an individual he/she announces his/her arrival to the God/Goddess with the sweet and melodious sound.
The main origin of the ritual bell comes from the Sanskrit Word “Ghanta”. The sound of the ritual bell is considered to be auspicious by the Saints. Whenever a student is going for an exam or an employee is going to present a Power-Point Presentation he/she rings the bell in front of the God/Goddess and bows and asks for the help for his/her work and this bell also acts as a catalyst and give people the boost and confidence to carry out their tasks in the entire day with full of zeal and zest. In an Aarti or Puja the Bells carry huge importance and the bells are the backbone of all the religious ceremonies like Durga Puja, Ganapati Aarti etc.
