hira shankh (diamond conch)

[Guest guest]

dear friends

 

when some people lamented that they were so fascinated at the

valampuri laxmi shankh but could not afford as each shankh is

costing in lakhs of rupees, i recollected hira shankh which is most

rarest. after months of searching, only now i am fortunate to get

these rarest of rare shankhs.

 

unlike other shankhs found in sea, this hira shankh is a fossil

found deep within a rock. the rock is carefully chizzled out to

find the small hira shankh which is very small measuring around one

inch. all hira shankh are dakshinavarti thereby authenticating

thier auspiciousness. the beauty and magnificence of the appearance

in various vibrant natural colours on the outer surface and the

entire inner area of the shankh looks like a wall of diamonds and

sparkles as if uncountable diamonds are stuffed on the inner wall.

some scientists observe that the inner sparkling surface is a kind

of crystal fossil which sparkles in its natural form. whatever be

the scientific term, since the inner wall sparkles like a diamond,

it is named hira shankh.

 

this rarest hira shankh is available at a fraction of the valampuri

laxmi shankh. a person worshipping this hira shankh would get the

blessings of goddess laxmi and if this hira shankh is placed along

with a laxmi shaligram in the pooja place, goddess of wealth laxmi

starts dwelling in that house.

 

with best wishes
