The Karungali (ebony) tree is celebrated for its healing and restorative properties. Its bark is known for its strength and positive effects on the body and mind. Karungali wood is believed to attract electromagnetic waves and radiation, making it spiritually potent. It is commonly used in the crafting of temple gopurams, idols, sculptures, sticks, and antiques. Incorporating Karungali into one’s life is said to enhance spiritual health, reduce the negative impact of Mars in one’s horoscope, invite blessings from deities connected to Karungali, and diminish the adverse influence of the Navagrahas.

The story of how Lord Shiva obtained his Trishul is told in the Vishnu Puran. Vishwakarma's daughter, Sanjana, was married to Sun God Surya Dev, but she was unable to withstand his extreme heat. Because of his wife's worry, Surya Dev lowered his heat by one eighth, and Vishwakarma used the solar materials that fell to the earth to build the trident. This trident was then presented to Lord Shiva.
The symbolism of Lord Shiva's trident is numerous. According to one theory, it symbolises the Hindu Trinity, which consists of Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. According to a different perspective, it represents the past, present, and future and demonstrates Shiva's dominion over time. Some associate it with human attributes that Shiva transcends, such as desire, ignorance, and purity. It also represents the three energy channels in the body.
Shiva fights evil by using his trident. It is believed that the three worlds—heaven, earth, and hell—can be destroyed by it. He frequently employs it to restore harmony and order to the cosmos during chaos. The greatest illustration of how life should be lived is Lord Shiva. He represents achieving mental dominance, regulating and harmonising our energies, and distancing ourselves from the material world. Although he is linked to numerous objects, his trident is the most well-known and identifiable emblem. The Shiva Trishul signifies his power and supremacy and stands for a variety of concepts, including will, knowledge, and action.
