Hearing a Conch or Temple Bell — What the Texts and Tradition Say
According to Muhurta Chintamani, hearing an auspicious sound like a conch, drum or veena while asking or starting something is a good omen.
Prashna Marga also counts conch, veena and Vedic chanting as good signs.
The same rule counts harsh crow, donkey or dog sounds as unlucky.
Brihat Samhita's general rule reverses omens for women; no separate rule is given for this one.
