Shankha, the sacred conch shell, has always held a special place in every Bengali household—it is a powerful symbol of auspiciousness and joy. Its resonant sound marks life’s significant moments, from welcoming a new family member to offering daily prayers. No ritual feels complete without blowing the conch. In Indian tradition, the Shankha is closely associated with Lord Vishnu, depicted holding it in one hand and the Chakra in the other, a symbol of divine order and protection.
This painting is part of my Bangaliana series, a personal tribute to the rich cultural heritage of Bengal. Its style and motifs are inspired by the traditional Aplona art form, with delicate patterns and folk aesthetics that capture the timeless charm and spiritual essence of Bengali rituals.
