Ghanti (Puja Bell) – Sacred Bell for Aarti & Religious Ceremonies

Trademark Class 21 under the NICE Classification covers household utensils, containers, metal articles, glassware, earthenware, and religious-use utensils and accessories.

Ghanti, also known as a Puja Bell, is an essential religious accessory used during Hindu puja, aarti, temples, havan, festivals, and daily worship. The ringing of the bell is believed to purify the surroundings, remove negative energies, and invite divine presence during rituals.

Since Ghanti is a physical religious utensil made of metal or similar materials, it is correctly classified under Trademark Class 21.

If your business manufactures or sells Puja Bells (Ghanti) for religious purposes, your brand must be registered under Class 21 for trademark protection.

This class is essential for puja samagri brands, brassware manufacturers, temple suppliers, and religious utensil companies.
