It is the favourite of Goddess Lakshmi.

Even to look at a conch-shell, or to touch it, would mean eradication of sins.

Goddess Mahalakshmi holding Dakshinavarti ShankhDakshinavarti Shankh is the symbol of Maa Lakshmi. Goddess Lakshmi is always depicted with Dakshinavarti Shank in her hands. The Dakshinavarti Shankha is also known as Lakshmi Shankha and Valampuri Shankha. Dakshina means the south side or when holding the shankh, Right Side. South is the direction of Kuber, the God of wealth. This shankha is very rare & much coveted and it is highly auspicious to keep it in Pooja for all round prosperity.

The Sri Lakshmi Shankh has reverse-turning spiral. When held with the crown pointed up, the conch's spiral will turn to the right (Dakshinavarti) rather than the far more common variety which turns left (Vamavarti).
