The musical notes of the Indian sub-continent are known as Sargam. The word "Sargam" is derived from "Sa • Re • Ga • Ma". Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni are simply the seven notes of the Indian musical gamut, called Swara (similar to the Western do re mi fa so la ti).

Meaning & Intention
In Indian classical music, the seven notes of Sargam — Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni — form the foundation of every raga, the same way do-re-mi grounds Western music. This chime carries seven bells in tribute to that scale, turning a passing breeze into a small, imperfect echo of a musical tradition centuries old.
Bells hold a long-standing place in South Asian homes and temples, where their ring is thought to clear stagnant energy and mark a threshold between the everyday and the sacred. A chime like this one, hung at a door or window, has traditionally served as a quiet signal — of someone's arrival, of a moment worth noticing, of sound as a form of blessing rather than mere decoration.
Because each bell is shaped and soldered by hand from reclaimed metal, no two chimes ring quite the same. That imperfection is the point: the piece carries the fingerprints of the artisan who made it, and its voice is as particular as the hands that formed it.
Hung by a door, window, or porch post, this chime turns ordinary currents of air into a small, recurring cue to slow down. The sound is brief and easy to miss on a busy day, which is exactly what makes it useful — a soft ring that interrupts autopilot for a second and invites a breath, a pause, a moment of return to the present.

Questions & Guidance
How is the Seven Bells Chime made?
Each bell is hand-soldered from copper and upcycled scrap metal by fair trade artisans in India, then strung on a black rope with glass beads between each one.
Why does it have seven bells specifically?
The seven bells reference Sargam, the seven notes of Indian classical music (Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni), similar to do-re-mi in Western music.
Where should I hang this chime?
It works well at a doorway, window, porch, or covered outdoor space where a breeze can move through it and catch the light on its copper-gold finish.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
It can be hung in a sheltered outdoor spot like a covered porch, but prolonged exposure to rain and moisture may affect the metal's finish over time, so a covered or indoor location is best.
Will the bells look exactly like the photo?
Each bell is hand-soldered individually, so slight differences in shape, patina, and tone are natural and make every chime one of a kind.
