EN: peal of bells
This is the OG church notification bell. Before SMS blasts and Facebook events, the dupikal was how you knew it was time for misa or a fiesta. It's that frantic, festive ringing that tells the whole town something important is happening.
From Spanish 'duplicar' (to duplicate/double), referring to the rapid succession of rings.
Primarily used in a religious or historical context.
