They are as follows:
Gaumukhi Sankha
Gaumukhi means face of cow. It is considered very sacred. Keeping this sankha in the temple or puja place gives all the benefits (punya) of keeping a cow. It helps in bringing peace, harmony and happiness. Scientifically known as helmet conch.
Ganesha Sankha
Ganesh sankh represents Lord Ganesha and is worshipped to remove obstacles, for learning, for success in all undertakings, to get good luck and prosperity to family. It is considered a very auspicious item for protection from evil effects.
Pearl Sankha
Pearl Conch or Moti Sankh, our favorite, is very rare and it is found in the region where pearl is found. Keeping it in the house is considered to be auspicious. It removes any ominous effects of the moon and gives peace of mind. It has the luster of a pearl and is generally round and conical in shape. Moti conch/sankha is used to make the beautiful New Gold jewelry that we managed to bring to South Africa. Scientifically this conch is known as Trochus and was recently added to the list of banned conches. However, we looked in every shop in Jagannatha Puri and purchased almost every single conch jewelry item! Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to adorn yourself with this amazing jewelry which not only is gorgeous, but beneficial to the health, heart and mind.
Kauri Sankha
