At the entrances to the shrines of Saptamātṛkās are placed two guardian deities. Evil spirits, demons and demi-gods, holding tridents in their hands, may also be installed in the same place. It is enjoined that the daily worship and festivities in the Saptamātṛkā shrines are to be performed according to rules prescribed by the Yāmala-mantrasāstra.
