the purpose of bells in Hindu shrines is to get the god's attention, and there are big metallic bells in Hindu temples, and ringing the bell produces the sound 'Aum', the sacred Hindu word.
Hindus used to pray Supreme God with bell. Bell is seen as a form of positive wave energy which open mind & connect us to Supreme God.
they basically ring it during the Hindu prayer and it symbolizes to their god that a prayer is beginning. Aupmanyav adds: to announce that a worshiper or a petitioner has come with some request. They would ring the bell while returning also, the meeting being over, God is informed.
well famously or many a times christian churches and Hindu temples use big bells

How have Hindu nationalists tried to claim it as a Hindu design?
Anybody can become a Hindu. If one has faith in Hinduism then he is called a Hindu.
The bell is rung so that u are attaining GODS attention, we ring the bell at the begining of a prayer and at the end of a prayer, it also provides a harmonous sound and alerts evryone that it is the start to the prayer and their attention should be in the prayer and obtain silence. I have a small bell at home that I ring evry morning wen I lite my lamp, try doing this at home and experience the vibe from this, its a beautiful sound, automatically by that sound the spirit inside u is awakened. Try it!
