Vamavarti Shankh in 925 Sterling Silver Encasing

This beautiful long-tailed shankh is covered in a decorative, skillfully crafted pure silver casing that crowns its top. The cover gives the shankh a splendid look and also protects it. The combination of the white color of the shankh and the silver of the cover makes the shankh look majestic. 

This Vamavarti shankh is ideal for keeping in the house for auspicious vibrations and is used in puja for holding water and for abhisheka rituals. The long-tailed shankh is rare and has a slim look and thick shell body. It is found in deep waters, at depths of 200-250 meters near South India. 

Vamavarti Shankh is associated with the Goddess of Wealth, Maa Laxmi. The shankh is praised in Hindu scriptures as a giver of fame, longevity, and prosperity. The Brahma Vaivarta Purana declares that the shankh is the residence of both Lakshmi and Vishnu. The shankh is displayed in Hindu art in association with Vishnu. As a symbol of water, it is associated with female fertility and serpents (Nagas). 

Performing abhishek with water from a shankh is considered similar to doing abhishek with all holy waters at once. Pouring water from a shankh on one's own head before a Vishnu image is equivalent to bathing in the pious Ganges River. Water stored overnight in the conch is believed to have medicinal properties that help cure intestinal and skin conditions. 

Placement: Place the Shankh on your altar or in the northwest direction of your dwelling.
