Hand-carved conch shell featuring Sahasrabhuja Avalokitesvara, symbolizing boundless compassion and the sacred sound of Dharma.
This exquisite hand-carved conch shell features the image of Sahasrabhuja Avalokitesvara (the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva of Compassion), symbolizing limitless mercy, protection, and spiritual awakening. The conch, or Shankha, has been revered in Hindu and Buddhist traditions for thousands of years. In Hinduism, it is associated with Lord Vishnu and Krishna, used to declare sacred war and begin rituals. In Buddhism, especially Vajrayana, it is one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols (Ashtamangala), representing the fearless proclamation of Dharma across the universe.
The depiction of Avalokitesvara with a thousand arms and eyes signifies his infinite ability to perceive suffering and respond with compassionate action. Carved onto a natural conch shell, this sacred figure radiates both artistic beauty and spiritual power.
Right-turning conch shells, which are rare and sacred, are especially honored for mirroring the motion of celestial bodies and the energy flow in the universe. These conches are used in rituals, pujas, blessings, and meditation, and are also considered auspicious decorative items.
