General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: archive.org: South Indian Festivities (hinduism)Shankanidhi (स्हन्कनिधि) or simply shanka, refers to one of the eight nidhis that are under the control of Devi (the Goddess).—The nidhi Nila is said to favour all sorts of enjoyments and Sanka (nidhi) self-realisation and eternal bliss. The two nidhis Sanka and Padma confer on individuals mundane enjoyments and heavenly bliss. The wealth secured by Padma-nidhi makes worldly enjoyments possible and the yogic powers conferred by Sanka-nidhi result in bliss arising from self-realisation. As these two nidhis control in fact the other Nidhis, sculptural representations of these two nidhis only are placed at the sides of temple entrances in southern India.
