Dakshinavarti Shankh
The Dakshinavarti Shankh is one of the rarest of conch shells. It is associated with the Goddess Lakshmi, and is commonly seen in almost every visual depiction of Lord Vishnu and Lakshmi, who hold it in one of their hands. The conch shell is considered highly sacred for its property of twisting rightwards, thus pointing southwards and leading to the name Dakshinavarti Shankh.
