Trident (Trishula) with sun and moon flanking, date and country name below, surrounded by the inscription in Devanagari "Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev".

The Trishula is a type of South Asian trident also found in Southeast Asia. It is commonly used as a Hindu-Buddhist religious symbol. The word means "three spear" in Sanskrit and Pali. In India and Thailand, the term often refers to a short-handled weapon which may be mounted on a danda or staff. But unlike the Okinawan sai, the trishula is often bladed. In Malay and Indonesian, trishula usually refers specifically to a long-handled trident while the diminutive version is known as a chabang or tekpi.
