A foot tall, of a pillar-like structure -
this Trishula stands on a quadri-layered pedestal. Although possessed by many
deities in the Hindu pantheon, this particular is a Shiva Trishula
marked to distinction by its Tripunda. Shiva, who is Ananta - free from the
cycle of birth and death is said to have his Trishula - symbolizing immorality.
The three prongs of the Trishula are often also seen as the three aspects of
what life is about - Creation, Sustenance, and Destruction. Shiva’s
omnipresence finds its way through the sight of his seraphic Trishula.
The Divine Emblem of Power and Creation
This exquisite bronze statue captures the essence of the Trishul, a potent symbol revered across various spiritual traditions, most notably in Hinduism. The Trishul, meaning "three-pronged spear," is intrinsically linked to Lord Shiva, the cosmic dancer and destroyer, as well as the preserver and transformer of the universe. Its three prongs are said to represent the three gunas—sattva (purity, goodness), rajas (passion, activity), and tamas (inertia, darkness)—the fundamental qualities that influence the workings of the cosmos. The mastery of these forces, and the transcendence of their duality, is a core tenet in many spiritual paths, and the Trishul serves as a powerful visual reminder of this profound concept.
A Symbol of Cosmic Significance
Beyond its association with Lord Shiva, the Trishul's three points are also interpreted as representing creation, preservation, and destruction—the eternal cycle that governs existence. It signifies the trident's power to destroy evil, ignorance, and suffering, while simultaneously upholding dharma, cosmic order, and righteousness. The trident is also seen as a weapon that can control the three aspects of time: past, present, and future, bestowing upon its wielder mastery over the temporal realm. Its presence is believed to ward off negativity and protect the spiritual seeker on their journey.
Craftsmanship and Devotion
This magnificent 12-inch statue is meticulously crafted from bronze, a metal chosen for its durability, beauty, and its inherent spiritual resonance. The rich, lustrous finish of the bronze enhances the intricate detailing of the Trishul, from the sharp, defined points of the trident to the ornate base upon which it stands. The accompanying stand elevates the sacred weapon, transforming it into a commanding centerpiece for any altar, meditation space, or devotional corner. Each curve and contour speaks of the artisan's dedication to capturing the divine form and spiritual power embodied by the Trishul. This piece is not merely an object of art but a conduit for spiritual energy, designed to inspire reverence and facilitate a deeper connection with the divine.
