About Shankh
Shankha is the divine Conch shell or sea shell. The story of the spiral(shankh) is the story of creation.It is the story of how form, pattern, order and beauty emerge out of random particles and chaos. The spiral transforms chaos into order. The spiral is dynamic - born out of motion - organized motion.Whether on the microcosmic or macrocosmic level the spiral organizes the particles of the universe into ordered forms that whirl for a moment in time and then disintegrate back into chaos. The spiral achieves this fleeting order against impossible odds
“Leonardo can be considered, quite rightly, to have been the universal genius par excellence, and with all the disquieting overtones inherent in that term. Man is as uncomfortable today, faced with a genius, as he was in the 16th century. Five centuries have passed , yet we still view Leonardo with awe.” Liana Bortolon
Across the globe people have been inspired to create structures based on natural forms.
Leonardo da Vinci drafted the first spiral staircase plans (which are still used by architects today) from studying the simple snail shell with its interior whorls.
