Gomukh Shankh (Cow-Face Conch)

गोमुख शंख

Gomukh Shankh (गोमुख शंख) is a sacred conch whose natural opening and grooves resemble the face of a cow (Gomukh literally means "cow-faced"). The cow is the most sacred animal in Hinduism, embodying motherhood, abundance, nourishment, and the divine gift of kamadhenu — the wish-fulfilling celestial cow. The Gomukh Shankh is therefore believed to combine the spiritual vibration of the conch (representing the primordial sound Om) with the nurturing, abundant energy of the sacred cow. It is used in puja to invoke Goddess Lakshmi and the divine maternal energy, and it is especially recommended for those seeking progeny, family harmony, and the steady increase of household prosperity. The Gomukh Shankh is also placed in the cash locker, business counter, or puja altar as a symbol of kamadhenu's blessing — the assurance that wealth will flow as gently and continuously as a cow yields milk. When blown during aarti or puja, the conch purifies the environment with the sacred vibration of Om and dispels negative energies. This energized Gomukh Shankh is ideal for Lakshmi Puja, business owners, families seeking progeny and harmony, and devotees who wish to keep the blessings of the sacred cow in their home. Mantra: Om Shreem Mahalakshmiyei Namah or Om Gaum Namah.
