Description
Aranmula Kannadi Sangu is not a seashell but a sacred metal conch, crafted using the same legendary alloy as the Aranmula mirror. It is a permanent, consecrated embodiment of the divine Shankha, created for worship and contemplation.
In Vedic belief, the conch represents Naada Brahman, the cosmic sound of creation. While a natural conch produces sound, the Aranmula Sangu symbolizes its eternal potential—silent, powerful, and auspicious, radiating mangala and spiritual victory.
It is made from a rare high-tin bronze alloy (approx. 75% copper, 25% tin), a closely guarded formula of Aranmula’s traditional metal artisans. Cast using the lost-wax method, each piece reflects a sacred process of transformation, durability, and ritual purity.
Designed as a Dakshinavarta (right-spiraling) Shankha, it is associated with Goddess Lakshmi and spiritual ascent. The spire signifies focused elevation, while the wide opening represents abundance and receptivity. As a solid ritual vessel, it is used in puja to hold sanctified water, rice, or flowers.
The Sangu is the eighth object in the Aranmula Ashtamangalyam, placed before the bride in Kerala weddings to bless the new home with dharma, prosperity, and divine protection.
Approx. weight: 80–100 grams, giving it a dignified, sacred presence distinct from a fragile shell.
