Close-up photograph of a polished silver trident (trishul) standing upright against a blurred riverside backdrop of pale sand, dry trees and water. The trident has three curved prongs with a central spear point and an ornate silver shaft with a collar. In the lower corners, the blurred silhouettes of a few people are partly visible at the frame edge, but no one is in focus. The trident is a Shiva symbol used in Hindu ritual at the Ganga ghat in Haridwar.
