Traditional Nepalese temple wind bells, known as "ghanta" in Nepali, are an integral part of the country's rich cultural and religious heritage. These bells, often found adorning the eaves of temples and shrines, are meticulously crafted from metals like bronze or brass. They produce a melodious, soothing sound when stirred by the wind, believed to purify the air and ward off negative energies.

In addition to their aesthetic and spiritual significance, temple wind bells play a practical role in religious rituals. Their gentle chimes are thought to invite divine presence and mark the passage of time during meditative practices. By bridging the material and spiritual realms, these bells contribute to the serene and contemplative atmosphere characteristic of Nepalese temples, enhancing the overall devotional experience for worshippers and visitors alike.
