We all know that in every temple there are bells and you Can’t find any Hindu temple without a bell. People who are visiting the temple Should and will Ring the bell before entering the inner sanctum (Garbhagudi or Garbha Gruha or womb-chamber) where the main idol is placed.
According to Agama Sastra “uthsatanam pisasatheh preenanam sahareh paramsannithana mamarthyanam ghantaayachalanath baveth”. It means that “The bell is used to give sound for keeping evil forces away and The ring of the bell is pleasant to God.”
People who are visiting the temple should and will Ring the bell before entering the inner temple (Garbhagudi, Garbhagriha, Moolasthanam or womb-chamber) where the main idol is placed.
