Sri Yantra
The geometry of divine consciousness
The Sri Yantra is one of the most complex and revered symbols in Hinduism, a geometric diagram composed of nine interlocking triangles that radiate from a central point called the bindu. It is considered the visual representation of the sound Om and the cosmos itself.

The nine triangles of the Sri Yantra represent the union of the masculine and feminine divine: five downward-pointing triangles symbolise Shakti (the feminine creative force), and four upward-pointing triangles symbolise Shiva (the masculine consciousness). Together they create 43 smaller triangles, representing the entire cosmos in dynamic balance. The central bindu is the point of pure consciousness from which all creation emanates.
