These bells are made in the northern Indian State of Uttar Pradesh which is well known for quality brass manufactures. Once cast, these solid brass bells are transported to a nearby town for coloring.
If you are wondering what Elephant Bells are for, they can serve a number of purposes. These heavy brass bells provide a pleasing sound and help to decorate the elephants as they sway in the many colorful festival processions in India. When not on parade, the bells are hung about the elephant's necks so the Mahouts can locate their animals while they are out in the jungles (and you thought it would be hard to lose an elephant). The Bells also announce the elephant's approach. You never want an elephant to sneak up on you.
