On Buddhist temples

Would these also be trishulas? Surely they are not menorahs!

Pop culture

I am removing the popular culture section. Almost everything listed there is clearly meant to be the Okinawan sai. Morinae (talk) 14:10, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Duplication with Trident

Tagged {{Duplication}} due to trishula material accumulating in Trident.

This material probably should be cut&paste WP:MOVEd here (as per WP:REDUNDANTFORK).

Ideally, relevant contributors should be alerted but I'm not perusing revision history to identify who to ping at this point.--Kiyoweap (talk) 10:59, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An astra is on another level of power compared to standard human weapons.

How are the same ancient weapons found in various ancient cultures?

For example Trident or Trishula is the weapon of both Greek gods as well as Lord Shiv, from Hindu mythology.

The origin of Shiv in India at least is over 3000 years old. Greek mythology seems to be similarly dated.

Other weapons too like Bows, Maces, Swords, Chariots have been in Indian, Chinese and Mediterranean cultures since antiquity.

How was this made possible over 3000 years back? 171.79.49.101 (talk) 03:01, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Trishula

In Mahabharata it is told that LORD SHIVA'S trishula name is Vijay. Trishula is a Sanskrit and Hindi name for Trident. 2405:201:A001:6194:80C3:2019:BC9B:F7C0 (talk) 06:06, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
