Brass Hanging Bells for Mandir and Temple (Ghanti)

This page holds 55 brass hanging bells from ₹145, from a 2.5 inch ghanti for a home mandir to a 31 inch temple bell. All 55 are pure brass, cast in Moradabad, and the weight runs from 20 g to 101.4 kg.

With a bell, weight matters more than height. Two bells of 7 inch are listed here at 890 g and 1.2 kg, and the heavier one has thicker walls and a longer, deeper ring. For a home mandir or a doorway, a bell of 5.5 to 8 inch weighing between 600 g and 2.5 kg is easy to hang from a ceiling hook. Bells of 10 inch and above weigh 3 kg or more, and a 12.5 inch bell here weighs 15.66 kg. Those need a beam, a proper chain and a mason. The largest pieces, priced up to ₹1,61,430, are made for temples and are usually ordered by a trust or a donor.

Check what the hook is fixed into before you order a heavy bell. A plaster ceiling will not hold it. Brass bells darken outdoors over time, and a rub with lemon and salt brings the colour back.
