The Trishul Yantra is a one-of-a-kind yantram design. It consists of enchanted squares juxtaposed to form four different shapes in the four intercardinal directions of this yantra. A complete swastika engraving occupies each of the cardinal directions. In the centre is a rhomboid superimposed on a square. Within each of the triangles that form along the edges of the central diagram is inscribed the name of each of the navagraha (clockwise from top) - Chandra, Ketu, Guru, Rahu, Shukra, Soorya, Budh, Shani - while Mangala resides in the centre of the whole yantram. A trident stood up on a platform is painted around the Devanagari engraving, flanked by the intensely made up eyes of the Devi and Her nose-ring where the left nostril should ideally be.
