The ten incarnations of Vishnu have been nicely executed in the hanging bell with some sparkling characteristics of brass sculpture. Hanging bells are common feature in every Hindu temple and these are hung at the entrance of the temple. It is a ritual for the disciples whosoever pays a visit to the temple to ring the bell.
The bell reflects some delicate carvings on it apart from carving out ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu, viz., Matsya (Fish), Kurma (Tortoise), Varaha (Boar), Narasimha, Vamana, Parasurama, Ram, Krishna, Buddha, Kalki. The long chain also reflects greater degree of smoothness. |
