About this item:

Kauri shells have been regarded as a symbol of wealth, prosperity, and protection since ancient times. In Hindu mythology, they are considered sacred and are said to have been obtained during the "Samudra Manthan" (churning of the ocean), along with Goddess Lakshmi and other divine treasures. Revered as a gift of Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, these shells are believed to bring success, fame, and financial prosperity when worshipped.

Kauris were once used as currency in ancient India, later becoming a part of jewelry and even playing a role in games of chance. They also hold significance in marriage traditions, where they were often part of bridal attire to symbolize good fortune. The unique connection of Kauri to Lord Shiva, whose matted hair is said to resemble the shell, further enhances its spiritual significance. Nandi, the devoted bull of Lord Shiva, is often adorned with Kauri shells as a mark of respect.

Kauri shells are widely used in Hindu rituals, especially in the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, to invoke her blessings for financial success and protection from misfortune. It is common to keep Kauri shells in a cash box to safeguard against financial losses and ensure continued prosperity. Additionally, these shells are considered powerful tools for protecting children from negative energies and evil influences.
