"The Temple of Sri Yantra"

The Sri Yantra is the most famous of all Indian Yantras.
It's 9 interlacing triangles have deep symbolism ranging from 9 wives of Shiva,
to 9 dimensions of existence.
Perhaps an earthly interpretation may not be warranted,
but we can simply state that one of the main ingredients of a successful symbol,
to be worshipped by over a billion people,
is to ensure that the geometry permeates the levels of consciousness,
from the most simple to the most complex.
We know that the simple Sri Yantra is a flat disc with 9 triangles,
but in its complex form, its higher attribute, it is a multi-dimensional Construct,
a Mount Olympus, an Abode of the Gods.
