MikeMalaysia 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2008 I recently returned from my wife's grandfather's house in Sungai Siput, Malaysia (around 3 hrs north of Kuala Lumpur). He is a devout Saivite and has a prayer room in which he offers puja every evening (and possibly morning as well). However, in his prayer room, he has the following rack of weapons: What is the purpose of these weapons? Not for breaking coconuts, that's for sure (he keeps the knife for that beside the altar). The top one looks like a large, double-handed machete. What use would a two handed machete, a double-ended trident and a normal trident be? Are they actually used, or are they symbolic of something? And what about the rope things draped over the weapons? Are they supposed to resemble snakes or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
