Shankha (Sanskrit: शंख) is the divine Counch or sea shell, which is one of the insignia in the Hindu God Vishnu's hands. Lord Vishnu, also called Narayan, is imagined to have four hands. He has a Shankha (a conch shell) on one hand, the Sudarshan in second, Gada (a mace) in third and Padma (lotus flower) in the fourth.
