A Chandigarh mall is celebrating Diwali with a noble cause and also urging others to join in this cause. With an installation inspired the majestic

bells

at

temples

, through its theme, the mall hopes to usher in the feel of spirituality, positivity, and the blessing of

Gods and Goddesses

. While this installation is adding to the decor of the mall, it also has a cause attached to it as people can buy the bells and add to the donations, proceeds of which will be given directly to an NGO aiding the kin of those who lost their battle to

COVID

over the last 18 months.
Aptly named, 'Sound of Happyness', this decor is further based on the belief that deities remain manifested in temples where bells are rung. The theme will also highlight the interesting significance of each part of the bell. The sound of the bell is considered auspicious which welcomes divinity and dispels evil. The sound of the bell is said to disengage the mind from fraught with thoughts, thus making the mind more receptive. Bell ringing during prayer is said to help in controlling the ever-wandering mind and focusing on the deity.
The mall management says, "The idea is that for every bell that the customer buys, the proceeds of those will go to the NGO.
Currently, the structure we have has around 50,000 bells which we have installed and the customers who feel for the cause can do their bit by buying the bells."
