A sculpture of the Anuttara Trika trident as described by Abhinavagupta in Tantrāloka Chapter 15, created to the scale of the human form with elements in alignment to the corresponding subtle-body centers.
”The triśūlābja-maṇḍala is built up along the axis of internal sensation to contain the complete hierarchy of the Saiva cosmos as the throne of the Trika's deities.”
