As per the Vedic scriptures, the Tantra Puja Shankh is one of the most auspicious items. That came into being from the sea during the Ksheera Sagara Samudra Manthan. Therefore, he is considered the brother of Goddess Lakshmi, the ruler of wealth. Most gods and goddesses hold a tantric conch in their hands.

Blowing the Tantra Puja Shankh is considered an auspicious sound at the beginning or end of any ceremony. According to the Harivamsa Purana, Krishna killed a whale demon. Its name was Pancha-Jana. From the bones of this demon, Sankha’s existence came out. The name Panchajanya people give to a rare and strange shell formation.
