The conchshell is of ritual importance in Hindu culture. Known in the vernacular as shankha, it is the shapely shell of a sea snail and demands a special embouchure when blown. The shankha that you see on this page has been handpicked in Nepal on account of its gorgeous shape and the fact that it has been carved by a local artisan with great shraddha.
The pristine body of the conchshell bears overtones of distinct ivory. The concentric curls on its head bear long, angular serrations. There is a fishtail carved on one side of the conchshell; on the other, a floral motif. A hemmed-in band of angled serrations right where the shell begins to taper.
The handiwork is straight-lined and minimalist, yet looks ornate because it is on the body of a shankha. Blowing on such a work of art as this within the precincts of your home or office temple would add to the auspiciousness of your space and well-being of all within.
