What are the nine triangles in a Shri Yantra?
The Shri Yantra’s central pattern has four upward-pointing triangles and five downward-pointing triangles, interlocking around a central point called the bindu.
The design is traditionally associated with Goddess Tripura Sundari. Its interpretation and worship practices vary, so follow the guidance of your family or spiritual tradition. If you are deciding between yantras, see our comparison of Shree Yantra vs Kuber Yantra.
How to choose a Shri Yantra image
- Look for clear lines: The triangles should be distinct, and the central bindu should be easy to see.
- Choose a suitable size: Measure your wall or altar. Pick an image you can view comfortably from your usual prayer spot.
- Leave space around it: Avoid placing it where frames or decorations crowd the design.
- Select a format that fits: A flat image can be framed or placed on a shelf. A three-dimensional Meru Shri Yantra needs a stable surface.
Where should you display it?
Choose a clean, calm place in your puja room where the image is secure and easy to see. Traditions differ on placement, so use your family’s or spiritual guide’s advice if you follow a particular practice.
