I would play them all looking for the one that sounded exactly like that classic temple bell sound that you hear throughout India. So I bought this as my own personal temple bell to keep for life as you can see it is etched with LARRIJI as all my tabla drums are etched. This bell is the perfect sounding temple bell that is a brass work of devotional art! But fast forward a year later an urgent need rose to a higher priority and i was out of money. So I am selling this bell to raise money to buy a rice farm in the Philippines for a single mother now residing in a squatters village. This farm will give enough income for a large extended family! All proceeds from this sale will go directly to the Philippines to help the poor! I think Krishna would approve of selling this temple bell for such a great cause! This bell will surely bring good blessings to your home or temple! ~~~~~~~~ This item comes from Nasik Studios on Alcatraz home of Thrasher Qawwal & Party and Alcatraz Bol N Gong. This auction is part of a series of auctions to raise money for World-Sisters-United.
