Kuber's shankanidhi and padmanidhi

In temples you can see Kuber in both sides of entrance. One side he is holding shangam (crunch) in his both hands known as shanka nidhi (nidhi mean property).In other side He is holding lotuses on his hands known as Padma nidhi.

Shangu is from ocean symble of salt water source means all property s in see like perals and corals. Why shagam in his hand? Because shangam only gives the sound of ohmkaram when you blow it.

padmam is the symble of water sources in land like river, lakes, tanks etc. this is very important for all living things (agriculture, to drink and all purposes).

Most of our tamil numerals are mentioned in the name of water flowers or names of lotus.

Shanga nidhi is symbol of numerical number 10 to the power of 14.

Padma nidhi is symbol of numerical number 10 to the power of 35.
