The Conch — শঙ্খ
The conch shell (saankh / শঙ্খ) is blown at the start of the arti and during anjali — a long, resonant call that signals Maa Durga's blessing.

The call of the arti
The conch (শঙ্খ) rings out across the pandal as the dhaak falls silent and the arti begins. Its deep, sustained note is one of the most moving sounds of Durga Puja.
This is the actual conch sound used on the pandal radio ambience. Play it, then press play on the radio to bring the full pandal evening home.
