Bells Wear They Why
I can't seem to find a good answer for this. However, the question has brought me into an interesting study of culture. I have a theory that the bells have to do specifically with the god Shiva, the destroyer god that is very popular in Hindu religion.

| He holds a thunderbolt (Vajra) in his right hand representing the male aspect of skillful means and method. In his left hand, he holds a bell (Ghanta) representing the female aspect of supreme wisdom, the two together symbolizes the union of the male and female aspects which leads to liberation and enlightenment. |
Perhaps the bells the women wear has to do with the Ghanta that Shiva himself holds in legend.
