About The Sankha :
The Buddhist Ritual Shankha is an outstanding handmade conch shell trumpet used in ancient Tibetan Buddhist rituals and puja ceremonies. This ceremonial piece is 12 cm tall, 33 cm wide, and weighs 0.58 kg. It has a natural conch shell body that is carefully decorated with carved white metalwork and filled with coral and turquoise stones (artificial). The patterns contain Himalayan iconography and spiritual elements.
This shankha, traditionally used to begin spiritual rituals or call the heavenly presence, serves as both a ceremonial instrument and a holy decoration piece. Its size, excellent metalwork, and inlaid stones make it suitable for temple altars, home shrines, or as a memorable spiritual gift. Whether used as an altar centerpiece or in rituals, this conch shell represents the vibration of truth and the eternal voice of the Dharma.
Introduction to Sankha
In Buddhist worship, the conch shell is used as a trumpet or offertory receptacle and represents Buddha's spoken voice. It is one of the eight lucky Buddhist symbols, reflecting the victory of Buddha's teachings, which spread omnidirectionally like a conch shell's voice. The conch shell is a sign of power, authority, and sovereignty; its sound is thought to ward off evil spirits, prevent natural disasters, and frighten away dangerous creatures.
