The Dakshinavarti Shankh should not be broken or chipped from any side.
There should be no black colored holes on any part of the Dakshinavarti Shankh.
There should be no artificial colored spots on the Shankh.
The mouth or opening of the Shankh should be in a good condition.
The Dakshinavarti Shankh comes in various types. A dark colored Shankh is most suitable for short tempered and Tamsik Guni persons. However, the dark colored Shankh should be avoided by pure minded or Satvik Guni people.
An undamaged white colored Dakshinavarti Shankh, which blows clearly and loudly [Shankhnaad] is considered to be the best variety.
Some Hindu religious texts have categorized the Dakshinavarti Shankh into Brahmin [Priest], Kshatriya [Warrior], Vaishya [Businessperson] and Shudra [Laborer] Varnas. Based upon this theory the White Colored Shankh is for Brahmins, Red Colored one for Kshatriyas, Yellow Colored Shankh for Vaishya and Black Colored Shankh for Shudras. However, if anyone wishes to follow these recommendations, they should not take their caste but temperament into consideration this site does not believe in caste or religiou barriers.
