Ringing of a bell at the beginning of puja holds a significant place in Hindu religious tradition. Traditionally, the sound of the bell is regarded as a symbolic invocation of the deity and a sign of welcoming divine presence.
According to the traditional belief, the melodious sound of the bell signifies the arrival and welcome of the deities. At the same time, the ringing of the bell is believed to drive away negative or harmful forces. For devotees, therefore, the bell is not merely a ritual instrument. Its sound marks the beginning of worship and helps create a sacred atmosphere for prayer and devotion.
Traditional belief also describes the sound differently for divine and negative forces: while the bell's resonance is considered pleasing and auspicious to the deities, it is believed to be disturbing and fear-inducing to negative forces.
Thus, the ghanta nada, or sacred ringing of the bell, has both a devotional and symbolic significance in Hindu worship. It marks the transition from the ordinary surroundings into an atmosphere of prayer, concentration and reverence.
