The Airavat Shankh is a rare and highly revered type of conch shell (shankha) named after Airavata, the divine white elephant of Lord Indra in Hindu mythology. It is considered one of the most powerful and auspicious varieties of shankha, symbolizing purity, prosperity, and divine strength.
It is used in temple rituals, aarti, and Vedic ceremonies to invoke divine energies.
Devotees often offer water from the Airavat Shankh to deities, especially Vishnu and Lakshmi, for blessings.
