The Ram temple in Ayodhya is set to receive a bell weighing 2,400 kg. The monumental bell has been made of 'ashtadhatu' (eight metals) and costs Rs 25 lakhs. This extraordinary creation, transported via train, made its way to Ayodhya on Tuesday after its journey through various subdivisions of the Etah district. 2400 kg giant bell offered for Ram temple in Ayodhya by a delegation from Etah: Temple trust in statement#RamMandir#Ayodhya#ShriRampic.twitter.com/QFxZiN81vh
Made by a diverse team of approximately 30 skilled workers, the bell is composed of eight metals: gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead, tin, iron, and mercury. This exquisite piece is among the largest bells in the country.
The bell, unique in its single-piece crafting, will produce a resonant sound audible within a two-kilometre radius and measures an impressive six feet in height and five feet in width. The meticulous process involved shaping and measuring the components, creating wooden templates for the mould, metal preparation, tuning, grinding, and fitting the clapper.
