In Sanatan Dharma, the Trishul (Trident) holds significant symbolism and is associated with various deities, primarily Lord Shiva. The Trishul represents the three aspects of existence: creation, preservation, and destruction. It symbolizes the power to overcome negative forces and achieve spiritual growth. The three prongs of the Trishul also represent the three Gunas (qualities) - Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas - signifying the balance and control over Tridoshas.
Trishul is often depicted as a powerful weapon that can destroy ignorance and negative influences. It is also seen as a symbol of protection and guidance, leading the way towards enlightenment and liberation from worldly attachments.
In addition to its spiritual significance, the Trishul is also associated with the power to ward off evil and negativity, making it a symbol of strength, courage, and divine protection in Hindu culture.
