The Ghanti Kathi serves as a non-lethal protective tool against wild animals. It generates sound through a system of three bells arranged on a semi-circular surface. Designed strategically, these bells produce a deterrent sound that helps keep animals at a distance. Additionally, the Ghanti Kathi features blunt spikes, providing a means to ward off animals if they approach too closely. This dual functionality, combining auditory deterrence and a physical deterrent with blunt spikes, ensures a practical and humane way to safeguard oneself from potential wildlife encounters.
