The ghanta (bell) and dorje (vajra) are used together in Vajrayana practice and are made as a set, with the bell's handle repeating the dorje's form.
Both are lost-wax cast in Patan, which means each began as a wax model that no longer exists. The chasing on the bell's skirt is done by hand after the pour.
We stock these because buyers ask for them, and we sell them as objects, without any claim about consecration or provenance that we cannot stand behind.
