Treasure from Ocean

All above collection is from Port Blair, Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

The ocean bed is full of treasure and during 1972-76 it was enormous in the region. As the area became more attractive for tourist, the outsiders began exporting this treasure to outer world and Govt. of India did impose ban on exploring the treasure for business purposes.

The unique artifacts are affectionate for me as I have collected them live from sea bed from a depth of 30-100 feet (snorkeling and scuba diving) while my stay over there during 1972-1976.

These seashells have been used as musical instruments,wind instruments for many hundreds if not thousands of years. Most often the shells of large sea snails are used, as trumpets, artifacts, table lamps, flower vase, ash treys, crockery, cutlery, ornaments, fashion articles, bangles, by cutting, grinding, polishing and bringing into desired shape and size.. Various different kinds of large marine gastropod shells can be turned into blowing shells.

Seashells have played a part in religion and spirituality, sometimes even as ritual objects.

Because seashells are in some areas a readily available bulk source of calcium carbonate, shells such as oyster shells are sometimes used as soil conditioners in horticulture. The shells are broken or ground into small pieces in order to have the desired effect increasing the calcium content in the soil.
Seashells have been admired, studied and used by humans for many different purposes throughout history and pre-history. ************

MillenniuM INFRA: भरोसे की नींव, भविष्य का निर्माण

Indore की तेज़ी से विकसित होती धरा पर एक स्वप्न धीरे-धीरे साकार हो रहा था… यह स्वप्न केवल कंक्रीट की संरचनाएँ खड़ी करने का नहीं, बल्कि अटूट विश्वास की नींव पर एक नई दुनिया बसाने का था। इस संकल्प का नाम है — Millennium Infra । शुरुआत संक्षिप्त थी—सीमित संसाधन और कुछ समर्पित हाथ, परंतु सोच अत्यंत स्पष्ट थी: “घर सिर्फ चार दीवारें नहीं, बल्कि मनुष्य के सपनों का आधार होता है।” समय के साथ, इसी दूरदर्शिता ने व्यवस्थित प्लॉट्स (Planned Plots) और सुनियोजित कॉलोनियों का रूप लिया। ये ऐसे प्रोजेक्ट्स बने जहाँ लोग केवल पूंजी का निवेश नहीं करते, बल्कि अपने सुरक्षित भविष्य की कल्पना करते हैं। धीरे-धीरे, ज़मीन के निर्जन टुकड़े एक "पहचान" और "पते" में तब्दील होने लगे—जहाँ अब बच्चों की खिलखिलाहट गूंजती है, जहाँ शाम की हवाओं में सुकून का वास है, और जहाँ हर प्लॉट एक नई सफलता की कहानी कहता है। Millennium Infra ने केवल निर्माण नहीं किया, बल्कि रिश्तों और भरोसे का एक अटूट सिलसिला खड़ा किया है। आज यहाँ ज़मीन बेची नहीं जाती, बल्कि खुशहाल कल की नींव रखी जाती है। MillenniuM ICON ...
