Trishul, the trident is the prime ayudha (weapon) of goddess Mahishasurmardini Durga. Devi with Trishul executes the demons and restores balance in the universe. But beyond its identity as a weapon of choice for goddess Durga, the trident is a symbol of deeper ideas.
The three spears of a Trishul represent the three Gunas (qualities)- Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. Thus, placing a Trishul in your home is believed to cause a balance of these qualities within you. According to Vaastu Shastra, if you put a metal Trishul, (preferably made from metals such as bronze) on the top of your main door, it wards off any evil or negative energy which attempts to enter your space. You can secure your home with the blessings of goddess Durga by placing this bronze Devi hand with Trishul in your home. The metal sculpture is crafted in Swamimalai, a center for the production of beautiful religious and secular bronzes.
