The auspicious substances include the Mirror (Melong), Right-Turning Conch, Yogurt, Vermilion, Durva Grass, Bilva Fruit, and White Mustard Seeds. They may be used in rituals such as consecration, purification, initiation, and other devotional ceremonies, where they represent qualities such as purity, prosperity, longevity, protection, and spiritual well-being. The Eight Auspicious Substances should not be confused with the Ashtamangala, or Eight Auspicious Symbols. The two are separate groups with different purposes and meanings. The Eight Auspicious Symbols are the Endless Knot, Lotus, Dharma Wheel, Conch, Victory Banner, Treasure Vase, Golden Fish, and Parasol.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nidhiratna ","offers":[{"title":"21.5cm X 12cm \/ 3.74kg","offer_id":49906025136374,"sku":"620 RASS","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/5141\/7846\/files\/buddhist-eight-auspicious-substances-set-handcrafted-in-nepal-with-copper-and-stone-details.jpg?v=1788174276","url":"https:\/\/nidhiratna.com\/products\/eight-auspicious-substances-set-gold-silver-plated-artwork","provider":"Nidhiratna ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
