In Buddhist rituals, both the dilbu or tilbu (prayer bell or ghanta in devnagari) and dorje ( vajra) are used together.
The dorje symbolises thunderbolt or lightening and represents enlightenment and truth.
The bell is used to invoke the presence of Buddha and the deities. It also symbolizes compassion and wisdom.
Together they form the symbol of purity which no force can destroy during the ritual prayer. Notice the bell in picture carefully and you see dorjis all around near the rim.
