This bell and dorje (vajra) are handmade by Dechen Bell Sage in Dehradun, India — an area well known for exceptional bell makers. Each bell is individually crafted and hand-tuned for the quality of its sound.

“The five upper prongs of the vajra represent the Five Buddhas (Akshobhya, Vairochana, Ratnasambhava, Amitabha and Amoghasiddhi), and the unity of their omniscient wisdoms, attributes and qualities. The five lower prongs represent the female consorts of the Five Buddhas (Mamaki, Lochana, Vajradhatvishvari, Pandara, and Tara), and the unity of their qualities and attributes.”

— Robert Beer, The Encyclopedia of Tibetan Symbols and Motifs, p. 235
