According to Shastras, a Dakshinavarti shankh (conch) holds an important place in hindu religious ceremonies. Dakshinavarti shankh represents the appearance ofGoddess Laxmi. It is a symbol for fame and success. Worshipping this shankh makes a person’s life rich and prosperous. It brings success in business. It is believed that pouring water to the Sun from a Dakshinavarti shankh eliminates eye problems. It is also believed that if you fill water in this shankh and keep it besides your bed at night, your home will always have a peaceful atmosphere. There are a lot of different types of conches. Out of these, two are considered to be very important. One is Vamavarti shankh and the other is Dakshinavarti shankh. Vamavarti shankh is open on the left side. On the other hand, Dakshinavarti shankh is open on the right side. In Tantra Shastra, Dakshinavarti shankh is considered to be more important than Vamavarti shankh. Dakshinavarti shankh has a closed mouth and therefore, it is only worshiped and does not emit any sound.
