Lord Vishnu’s preserving, protecting powers have been manifested to the world in a variety of forms, called Avatars, in which one or more of his divine attributes were embodied in the shape of a human being or an animal or a human-animal combined form, possessing great and sometimes supernatural powers. All these Avatars of Vishnu appeared in the world either to correct some great evil or to effect some great good on earth. These avatars are ten in number. Of the ten universally recognized avatars, nine have already manifested whereas the tenth is yet to appear. Details of Brass Vishnu Avatara Conch
The very rare Brass golden-colored shank that can be blown.
The shankha is a sacred emblem used as a trumpet in Hindu rituals, and in the past was used as a war trumpet. The shankha is praised in Hindu scriptures as a giver of fame, longevity, and prosperity, the cleanser of sin, and the abode of Lakshmi, who is the goddess of wealth and consort of Vishnu. As a symbol of water, it is associated with female fertility and serpents (Nagas).
Shankha’s significance is traced to the nomadic times of the animists who used the sound emanating from this unique shell to drive away evil demons of whom they were scared. Over the centuries, the shankha was adopted as one of the divine symbols of Hinduism. Brahma Vaivarta Purana recalls the creation of conchs: Lord Shiva flung a trident towards the demons, burning them instantaneously. Their ashes flew in the sea creating conchs.
The sound of the shankha symbolizes the sacred Om sound. Vishnu holding the conch represents him as the god of sound. Brahma Vaivarta Purana declares that shankha is the residence of both Lakshmi and Vishnu, bathing by the waters led through a shankha is considered as like bathing with all holy waters at once. Sankha Sadma Purana declares that bathing an image of Vishnu with cow milk is as virtuous as performing a million yajnas (fire sacrifices), and bathing Vishnu with Ganges river water frees one from the cycle of births. It further says “while the mere sight of the conch (shankha) dispels all sins as the Sun dispels the fog, why talk of its worship?”Padma Purana asserts the same effect of bathing Vishnu by Ganges water and milk and further adds doing so avoids evil, pouring water from a shankha on one’s own head before a Vishnu image is equivalent to bathing in the pious Ganges river.
In Buddhism, the conch shell has been incorporated as one of the eight auspicious symbols, also called Ashtamangala.
