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 auspicious Buddhist symbols, reflecting the victory of the Buddha's teachings, which spread omnidirectionally like the sound of a conch shell. The conch shell is a symbol of power, authority, and sovereignty; its sound is believed to ward off evil spirits, prevent natural disasters, and deter dangerous creatures.
