represented as a single trinity goddess that combines
the female triad of

i.e.
the
three
shakti
or consorts of the male triad
Vishnu,
Brahma
and
Shiva,
in one form. She
is seated in the
royal relaxation-position
and depicted as a
Chaturbuja
deity,

attributes
associated with each of the individual members of the
triad, both male and female.
