Vamavarti Shankh with 92.5 Sterling Silver Cover - II

This beautiful Shankh is covered in a decorative, skillfully crafted pure silver casing that covers its top like a crown. The cover not only enhances the shankh's look, but also protects it. According to scriptures, the shankh is known for granting fame, longevity, prosperity, and for washing away sins. It is also considered to be the abode of Maa Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu. This particular shell is considered to be auspicious as it is a right-handed shell, which means that when held with the spout pointed upwards, its spiral twists rightwards rather than leftwards, as is common. Unlike the rare Dakshinavarti shankh obtained from the Indian Ocean, this shell is found in America and has been worshiped as a sacred object by Native Americans for thousands of years. This shell is called lightning whelk and is the State Shell of Texas. In other places, it is known as Valampuri Shankha. This right-handed shell is kept at homes to invite the blessings of abundance, wealth, and prosperity. Moreover, this Shankh can be used to store holy water (Ganga Jal) during puja rituals.
