Dakshinavarti Shankh — Rare Left-Turning Conch

Invite sacred sound and auspicious energy into your home with our Dakshinavarti Shankh — a naturally formed left-turning conch shell prized in Hindu ritual. Each shankh is unique: approx 8 cm × 8 cm × 14 cm, but because these are natural shells sizes, colouration and exact dimensions will vary slightly. Handpicked for good shape and resonance, the Dakshinavarti is traditionally revered and often used in Lakshmi, Ganesha and Navagraha worship.

Why choose a Dakshinavarti Shankh?

• Rare & auspicious: The left-spiral (dakshinavarti) conch is regarded in many traditions as especially auspicious and is associated with prosperity and divine blessings.
• Authentic natural piece: Each shell was shaped by the ocean — expect natural colour variation, texture and character that machine-made items can’t replicate.
• Multi-use: Perfect for daily aarti, vastu placements, or as a sacred altar accent.

Key features

• Approximate size: 8 cm (width) × 8 cm (depth) × 14 cm (height). Actual size, shape & colour may vary.
• Material: Natural sea conch (organic shell).
• Spiral direction: Dakshinavarti — left-turning spiral (as seen from the apex).
• Finish: Natural shell surface — cleaned and polished gently to enhance appearance while preserving character.

Ritual uses & traditional significance

The Dakshinavarti Shankh is used widely across puja traditions. Common practices include:

• Lakshmi and wealth rituals: Traditionally associated with prosperity — often placed near cash safes, cash registers, or on wealth altars (use respectfully).

• Ganesh/Laxmi puja & Navratri: Sacred accompaniment for festival worship and special ceremonies.

• Vastu & altar placement: Kept on the altar or on the northeast/southeast shelf as per personal/astrological guidance.

• Devotional offerings: Fill with a pinch of rice/akshat or place near offerings during rituals (ensure appropriate hygiene and respect).

(Note: cultural beliefs vary. References above describe traditional uses and beliefs; results are devotional in nature.)

How to use

For vastu or wealth use, place the shankh respectfully on your altar, cash tray, or a clean shelf — avoid placing directly on the floor.

Care & maintenance

• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after handling.
• If needed, rinse gently with lukewarm water and dry immediately; avoid harsh soaps or strong chemicals.
• Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
• Do not use as a food vessel or in ways that would damage the shell.
