Historical Information
Shankha (Sanskrit: शंख) is the divine Conch shell or sea shell, which is one of the insignia in the Hindu God Vishnu's hands. Lord Vishnu, also called Narayan, is imagined to have four hands. He has a Shankha (a conch shell) on one hand, the Sudarshana Chakra in second, a Gada (a mace) in the third and Padma (lotus flower) in the fourth.
The divine Shankha is identified with, or represented by, the shell of the Indian Ocean species Turbinella pyrum, the sacred chank.
Lord Vishnu is imagined to hold the Shankha on his upper left hand. The Shankha is used to alarm enemies and to start off war. It also represents awakening. The sound emitted from Shanku when blown, is too divine, that is used for regular rituals for Vishnu. Shanku also represents the Insignia of Vishnu. As a result of this, Shanku stands as a Royal State Emblem of Travancore and current state emblem of Kerala.
