Indian Conch Shell "Shank"

Brass Indian conch shell called "shank" is a significant and spiritual object in Hindu culture. The shell is made of brass or bronze and is decorated with intricate designs and engravings. In religious ceremonies, the shank is blown to create a deep, resonant sound, symbolizing the call to worship and marking the beginning and end of rituals. The shank's association with Lord Vishnu and the divine sound of creation adds to its spiritual significance. This “shank”, is not only a functional instrument but also a cultural and religious symbol that holds great importance in Indian traditions.
