Story Behind Heera Shankh/ History of Hira Shankha

A beautiful story exists behind the Heera Shankha / Pahadi Heera Shankha. Thousands of years ago a poor old lady named Heera-Ujwala lived in a village of North East (India). That time Ganga River flows from there and falls in the ocean. The lady Heera-Ujwala was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu & Goddess Laxmi. Once an epidemic spread in her area and the people began passing on in high numbers. Her two children and their spouses also came in the grasp of that epidemic and caught the disease. To save the lives of her children, daughters in law and others of that village and bring the prosperity again in the village, she was advised in her dream to do penance, fasting & worship of Laxmi Narayan.

Since she was a true devotee, she decided immediately to do severe penance to please the Lord Vishnu & Goddess Laxmi. During her severe penance without eating anything, in front of the fire (Yajna), Lord Vishnu appeared and guaranteed her that the village will be free from all plague and all affected village inmates will soon be blessed with good health. But to bring prosperity she has to worship Dakshinavarty Laxmi Shankh so that Goddess Laxmi can be satisfied easily. Very soon the village was free from all the diseases with the blessings of Lord Vishnu. But the lady Heera-Ujwala continued her penance to please the Goddess Laxmi.

Consequently, the rest of the Dakshinavarty Shanks alongside their bugs inside too in the ocean came close to the big shankh where Heera-Ujwala was doing her penance. While she was performing the worship, it is said that very heavy rain began and because of the heavy storm water from the sea began flooding all around. A strong wave of the ocean came where Heera-Ujwala was doing her penance and dark the Agni Jwala (the fire which was lit while performing the yajna) and destroyed the complete place and removed all Ahutis and gifts like fruits, utensils etc along with the wave itself to the sea.

This incident makes that lady Heera-Ujawala extremely miserable and in the fierceness of anger, she cursed that the spot will be immediately be relieved of the ocean and become plain. That place had the number of water species particularly there was a high grouping of Dakshinavarti Shankhs since all these Shankhs have moved to that spot and all of a sudden when the water receded, these species remained there and could not return to the sea.

And every Shanks and different species ended up fossilized Shankhs like stones including the big Dakshinavarty Shankh of Heera-Ujwala. Since the species was endangered, Lord Varuna (the God of the sea) pleaded Goddess Laxmi to spare the species. Goddess Laxmi immediately appeared where the Heera-Ujawala was performing the worship and ask her respectfully to take the curse back. She told to Goddess Laxmi that now her Shankh has additionally ended up like a stone how might she continue her penance.

Goddess Laxmi guaranteed Heera-Ujwala that henceforth all the worshipper of these Stone (Heera) Shankhs will be blessed with an immense fortune. Since the quantity of Dakshivavarty Shankhs has incredibly reduced the impact of Stone Shankhs will be comparable to the Dakshinavarty Shankhs. Since the majority of the Dakshinavarty Shankhs got changed over into Stone Shankhs the Dakshinavarty Shankh has become very very rare. Thus all the Shankhs which had turned into stones were named as Heera Shankhs.
