Why should women not use the Ghanta (Thirumaniazhwar / Divine bell) during occasions like Aradhana, Samarpanam, and Aarathi? Is this true?

In temples, they perform Pratishta (consecration) for the Ghanta (Thirumaniazhwar). Once consecrated, women should not touch it. Therefore, women should not ring the bell. Even though the Thirumaniazhwar at home is not consecrated, they have set a practice that the same practice followed in the temple should be maintained at home as well.
