The trident (Trishul) is not just a symbol of power but also of divine energy and protection.

The trident, which is considered to be the main weapon of Lord Shiva, is not just a weapon, but a symbol of cosmic energy and balance. The three prongs of the trident, will, action and knowledge power represent the three major powers of life. This is why keeping it in the house is considered extremely auspicious not only from a religious point of view but also for energy balance.
Benefits of keeping a trident in the house
According to Vastu Shastra, the trident works to prevent negative energy in the house, protect against evil eye and keep the environment pure. It acts as a protective shield against negative forces.
What kind of trident to keep
A small, metal (copper, brass or panchdhatu) trident is considered suitable for the house. It can be installed near the idol or picture of Lord Shiva or in the upper corner at the main entrance. Tying a Rudraksha or red thread on the trident and cleaning and worshipping it regularly gives auspicious results.
What to keep inmind
Never keep a broken or rusted Trishul in the house. Do not keep the Trident disrespectfully and keep it away from the reach of children, as it is a powerful symbol, not a toy.
