Trisul means Trident in Indian, the weapon of Shiva...the three marks at 12 o'clock represent the Trident.
1. The trishul is the primary weapon of Lord Shiva and was also used as a weapon of his ten-armed consort Maa Durga. It is probably the most powerful weapon mentioned in Hindu mythology along with Vishnu’s Sudarshan Chakra.
2. The three pointed blades of the Trishul represent Brahma, Vishnu and Lord Shiva himself and are said to hold their divine energy.
3. According to other legends they also represent the Tridevis – Saraswati, Lakshmi and Kaali
4. The three blades also symbolize the three Gunas- Rajas, Tamas and Sattva and the three Lokas – Swarg, Bhu and Patal.
5. The physical, mental and spiritual senses of mankind is also signifies by the three blades of the trishul. It destroys the ego of devotees and spreads divinity and Shakti into their souls.
6. Whenever the trishul has been used by Lord Shiva, it has always been for the restoration of peace and divinity in the Universe and the destruction of evil.
