It is believed that sound is able to destroy harmful elements in the environment and bring in positive energy.<\/p>\n<p>The Shankh is mentioned in many Vedas &amp; Puranas. It is described in many legends with its many powers, one of which is also associated with female fertility. Apart from the many iconographic representations, spiritual benefits, it also has many health benefits. Shankha bhasma contains calcium, iron, and magnesium and is considered to possess antacid and digestive properties, and is used in Ayurveda to treat stomach ailments. Shankh Naad or conch blowing is a great exercise for the chest and neck muscles, diaphragm, lower abdomen, bladder, and urinary tract. When you blow the Shankh, your lung muscles are expanded, improving their aerial capacity. It also exercises your thyroid glands and vocal cords. Your face muscles are stretched when you blow a Shankh, so you\u2019re automatically doing away with fine lines by blowing the conch every day.<\/p>\n<p>Head over to the ghats every evening to try your hand or face at a Shankh Naad. You can also experience a surreal <a href=\"http:\/\/fluede.online\/janaindica\/product\/puja-aarti\/\">Aarti<\/a> around the lake with multiple temple bells singing in unison with the Shankh Naad.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7130,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"blogwithouttab.php","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[159],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>SHANKH VADAN - STORY AND RELEVANCE - Jana Indica<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Jana Indica- An Indian Heritage City Platform.
