Shankha Nāda by Megha Sharma (b. 1991) places the Shankh at the centre, as the call of the conch. In the Ramayana, this call signals shubh beginnings, courage, and the shared energy before action. The Swastik on the Shankh stands for auspicious direction and protection. The repeated lotus motifs carry the idea of purity and inner rise, signifying that dharma can stay clean even when life is messy. The surrounding calligraphy and numbers bring in the world of mantra, counting, and remembrance, like a sacred order built through repetition, showcasing the power of japa, Shri Ram japa.
The whole work is arranged in a neat, temple-like pattern. It brings together simple shubh symbols from the Ramayana and places them in a fresh, modern way, keeping the feeling positive, clear, and devotional.
