Gorakhnath and the Kanphata Yogis c9.74

c9.74

In front of the shrine and at the right of the door is a liṅga, painted red. Stuck up in a line on each side of this and clustered around it are tridents, the arms of Bhāiroṁ, whose station, as guardian of the shrine, is here. The tridents are painted red. Many tridents are buried beneath the platform. They were offerings to Bhāiroṁ. Behind this armoury of tridents is the block of wood where goats are sacrificed.
