Brass Puja Bells — Handcrafted Temple Bells & Ghanti
The ring of a bell marks the threshold between the ordinary and the sacred — its clear, lingering tone is said to clear the mind and invite auspicious energy at the start of aarti. Our brass puja bells are cast and tuned by hand so each one carries a resonant, long-held note. Choose a hand ghanti for daily worship, or a hanging temple bell for the entrance of your mandir or doorway.

About our brass bells
Gharana’s brass bells range from small daily-puja ghanti to ornate hanging temple bells, each hand-cast for a clear sustained tone and finished in antique or polished brass. A good bell is judged by its ring — ours are tuned by ear before they ship. Complete your altar with brass diyas and a pooja thali, or browse temple supplies for chowki, shankh and more.
Frequently asked questions
Why is a bell rung during puja?
The sound is believed to drive away negative vibrations, focus the mind, and announce the start of worship to the deity. Aarti traditionally begins and is sustained with the ringing of the bell.
What makes a good brass puja bell?
A clear, resonant, long-lasting tone — which comes from quality brass, the right wall thickness, and hand-tuning. Heavier bells generally produce a deeper, longer ring.
How do I keep my brass bell shining?
Wipe after use and polish occasionally with a brass cleaner or lemon-salt paste, then dry fully. For an antique bell, simply dust to preserve the patina.
What is the difference between a hand bell and a hanging temple bell?
A hand ghanti is held and rung during aarti; a hanging temple bell is mounted at the mandir or entrance and rung on entering. Many homes use both.
