Shankh Mudra

Sanskrit for 'Conch Shell Seal,' Shankh Mudra is a sacred hand gesture commonly used in Hindu purification ceremonies. The mudra is symbolic of the conch shell horn, which is played to announce the opening of temple doors in the morning. Shankh Mudra removes physical and spiritual impurities, and is symbolic of shining a divine light on our inner temple. It is also used to treat any problems in the throat, to clear the airways and calm agitation in the lungs.
