Mumbai, India. April , 2019. Tourists who choose the option of a rail cruise departing from Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus receive a typical Indian musical performance on the departure platform. The Conch has been known in India for over 2000 years. Used as a musical instrument during religious ceremonies but also as a container of holy water, it has always retained a profoundly sacred meaning. The tip of the shell is cut, it is then possible to blow in the inner ellipse of the shell. It is played by squeezing the lips (like a trumpet) and blowing energetically into the hole.
