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.
