Lord Shiva’s Trishul

Having completed the tour of the main complex, we crossed over to the other side of the main road and entered the main gate of Markandeya Mandapam Complex. The moment we entered the complex, we saw the lofty and imposing Trishul (Trident) of Lord Shiva standing on the back of the tortoise symbolizing the ‘Prithvi Tatva” (the solidarity –principle represented by the Earth). The other two “tatvas” are the Jal (Ocean – the liquidity principle) and Aakash (Sky – the ether-principle of the Creation).
