Iconography of the Panchajanya on a temple wall
Panchajanya (Sanskrit: पाञ्चजन्य, IAST: Pāñcajanya) is the shankha (conch) of the Hindu preserver deity Vishnu, one of his four primary attributes.[1] The Panchajanya symbolises the five elements,[2] and is considered to produce the primeval sound of creation when blown.[3]
