Blowing the “Sankha” requires a specific technique to produce the desired sound. Here's a general guideline:

1. Hold the “Sankha” Properly: Hold the “Sankha” with the spiral opening (aperture) facing towards you. Ensure a firm grip on the “Sankha” to control the airflow. Use only your right hand to hold the "Sankha"
2. Form Your Lips: Pucker your lips and place them firmly on the aperture of the “Sankha”, creating a seal.
3. Controlled Breathing: Take a deep breath and blow into the “Sankha” with a steady and controlled airflow.
4. Adjustment for Sound: To produce the desired sound, adjust the position of your lips and the force of your breath. Experiment until you achieve the desired resonant and melodious sound.

Remember, the blowing of the “Sankha” is a sacred practice in certain contexts, so it is essential to do so with respect and understanding of its cultural and religious significance. If you are unsure of when or how to blow the “Sankha”, it is best to seek guidance from knowledgeable individuals or spiritual leaders.
