According to Vastu Shastra, the most auspicious direction to keep the conch in the house is considered to be Ishan Kon (north-east direction). It should be kept near the home temple or place of worship. By keeping it in this direction, positive energy remains in the house and wealth increases.

Take care of the cleanliness and purity of the conch

Always keep the conch shell in a clean place. Whenever you blow the conch, wash it with clean water and then put it back. Keeping a conch in a dirty or dusty place is considered inauspicious and can spread negative energy in the house.

The conch should never be kept directly on the ground. During puja, it should always be kept on a clean cloth or a small stand. It is considered a symbol of the gods, hence it is important to maintain its purity.

The conch should always be kept on the right side of the idol of Lord Vishnu, Mata Lakshmi or Bal Gopal. Also, the open part of the conch should be upwards.
