For a moment I thought it could be a weapon like the attached on, which also have a round 'blade', but a very pointed tip.
It was used for stapping enemies laying on the ground, and is supposed to be able to penetrade mail armour.
The bhelhetah has a much shorter 'blade', and I dont know what kind of weapon it is.
The attached picture is from Anthony C. Tirri's book Islamic Weapons. Maghrib to Moghul.
