Trikona

• tri means "three" and "kon" means angle. Trikon literally translates to triangle and not to equilateral triangle
• A trkona, which points upward, indicates agni, linga and purusha.
• A trkona, which points downward, indicates water, yoni and prakriti.
• In another configuration, two trkonas are depicted interpenetrating each other and one points upwards while the second points downwards. This symbolized purusha and prakriti.
• When trikonas are united in such a way that they form a six-pointed star, they represent creative activity from which the cosmos springs forth.
• When a circle surrounds a hexagonal figure, it is symbolic of revolving time, in which purusha and prakriti manifest themselves in the form of creation. The hexagon is also used in Shakti cult.
• When the trikonas are represented in a disjointed manner and separated from each other, they symbolize the cession of time and the cosmos ceases to exist.
