      Dear Sir,

      Head of the shankh should be facing towards the devotee performing Pooja. Tail or the narrow part should be facing towards the God.

        Sir, Dakshinavarti shankh face is closed, I wanted to clarify that, face means closed part should be towards the devotee performing Pooja, and other end Tail or the narrow part should be facing towards the God.
        Correct?

      Dear Mr. Subba Rao, It is interesting to note that Dakshinavarty Shankh can be used to worship the Lord Shiva. In fact, as per mythology, Dakshinavarty Shankh was originally owned by the Lord Shiva, who then gifted the same to the Lord Vishnu. You can find this information on the internet, which is as under. Kindly go through the link provided.
      templenet.com/Tamlnadu/s245.html Name of the temple is Tiruvalampuram. It is located at Perumpallam near Poompuhaar Tiruvenkadu (Chola Naadu South of Kavaveri). It is in the vicinity of Tiruvenkadu on the route between Sirkazhi and Poompuhaar near Ketusthalam of Navagrahamandalam. With regards, Dr. Chandrashekhar Phadke, Poona.

      guys never ever put 2 shankhs at one puja place. Never do abhishekham to shiva and surya by pouring water or milk with shankh.
