“Dharma Sansthapanarthaya, Sambhavami Yugey Yugey.”
It's a joy to see all of Vishnu’s avatars in one place. The depiction of all reincarnations in one piece is regarded exceedingly auspicious and is frequently worshipped by devotees in the form of paintings or statues. This metal bell with the image of Dasavatara on it is rich in symbolism and spiritual importance. This bell is a treasured artifact that evokes the cosmic energy and divine grace associated with his Dasavatara forms. The concept behind the design of this bell is to connect the self with the holy through the lovely sound of the bell and change into a quiet space.
This bell has the resemblance of a votive stupa. The National Museum, New Delhi has in its collection a 9th century Nalanda model of a votive stupa and the Mainamati itself. They both have, more or less, an alike appearance. In its model, this bell greatly corresponds to them. But besides such a stupa resemblance, the bell has no other Buddhist motif. It has rather carved on it, and quite prominently, Lord Vishnu's ten incarnations, the Dasavatara, namely, Matsyavatara, Kurmavatara, Varahavatara, Narsinghavatara, Vamanavatara, Parashuramavatara, Ramavatara, Krishnavatara, Buddhavatara and Kalkiavatara, which is a pure Vaishnava theme. Below is an arabesque panel. It contains besides creepers and flowers, various deities, including Lakshmi, Ganesha, and Saraswati, further cementing the auspiciousness of the bell.
