In Frame: A bell at the entrance of an inn at Har Ki Pauri - Haridwar
While on the way to 'Har To Pauri' the sound of this bell made to take a notice of it. There is a famous saying in Hindi - " shankh ghant baje kal kant dur bhage" which means sounds of conch and bell drives away bad and difficult times.
The street on its way to Har ki Pauri, is full of charitable inns and this bell is on the front door of one such inn. On its face its the sign of 'OM' and very fine drawings and a chain to ring it. It has been hanged exactly in way that it occupies the centre space on the face of entrace door.
This bell face the east direction and on morning sun rays really adds an alluring charm togther with the sound of its ring.
This picture was taken after diwali of 2009 when I visited Haridwar with my mother.
