Rani Pink Cowrie Shell Mini Singhasan

Cowrie shells — kaudi — on a rani pink mini singhasan. Cowries were currency across the subcontinent long before coins, and they survive in ritual precisely because of that association with wealth; they still appear in Lakshmi pooja and are kept in cash boxes for the same reason.

Which makes this a pointed choice for Diwali rather than a decorative one. Sized for a small deity or Laddu Gopal in an everyday mandir.

Natural shells vary in size and marking, so no two pieces match exactly. Idol and offerings shown are not included.
