Referring to hindu belief the Himalayan/OM BELL has very symbolic meaning. The outer circular structure symbolizes eternity whereas the interior Clapper/Tongue represents Goddesses Saraswati who is the hindu goddesses of knowledge, music,art,wisdom and learning.
Every hindu temple has bells hanged outside the temple entrance this is because whenever a devotee arrives at the temple, he rings the bell outside the entrance to notify gods of his presence and get the invitation from the gods themselves. It is believed that gods then invite the devotees inside and remove the presence of evil within the devotee and encourage them to walk in the right path. Likewise,the evening bell makes us forget the stress of the whole day and pray with a pure heart in gods grace.
