Vel
Murugan's spear, and the sign of the god himself rather than a weapon he carries. A vel is planted at his hill shrines and carried by pilgrims at Thaipusam; the leaf-shaped blade is read as wisdom, broad at the base and sharp at the point.

Temple Bell
The mani, rung on the way in and not on the way out. The note is meant to clear the mind of whatever it walked in carrying, so that what happens next is the only thing in it.
