The Shanka (conch)
and the Chakra (disc) are integral to Vaishnavite iconography. This set of
ritual objects made of brass is called the Sangu-Chakra thara. It is used
during the abhisheka, or bathing ritual of deities. Milk and other libations
are poured atop the icons through the opening on the top. It can also be
classified as a spoon used in Yagyas.
The Shankha
Panchajanya and Sudharshan Chakra are weapons to be found in the hands of Lord Vishnu,
the deity responsible for cosmic projection, and as such, are sacred
symbols in Hindu life and ideology. The former is the curvy, diamond-shaped
implement you see on this page, while the latter is the discoid object
accompanying it. These ritual spoons would be valuable additions to the space
of a true abider of the Hindoo philosophy.
The shankha occupies
pride of place in Lord Vishnu’s hand and on the altar of every Hindu. The
receptacle of nada, the cosmic stream of dhvanee (sound), runs through the
entirety of life, adding continuity to its apparent discreteness. The chakra
stands for the cyclical nature of life and being, the fact that time itself is
a full circle because the events that characterize it return to their perceived
starting point. Positioning the shankha and chakra apparatus in a corner of
your space would imbue it with life-affirming energy.
