In the
collection of temples of Tamil country, the weapons and insignia of the deity
also formed part of everyday rituals.
As an icon of
worship, Tirshula in Shaiva and Shakta temples is ritually consecrated and
revered by devotees, making it a powerful emblem.
This bronze
Trident features goddess Parvati as Mariamman, the popular goddess of Tamil
Nadu, also worshiped as Kali.
The goddess
with an animated fiery halo, exquisite ornaments, and short dhoti stands on a
lovely lotus pedestal. Behind her is the stylized Trident- its three prongs
symbolizing Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas guna, the three primal qualities of life.
Representing the powers of Mariamman- Kali, who is above all the three Gunas,
the three prongs fuse together.
Despite its miniature
make, the icon of the goddess has an imposing aura. For her devotees, the
warring mother becomes Amman or mother, and her mighty Trishula becomes a
liberating force, cutting through the bondage of life and death.
