Dhvajastambha is
Sanskrit and means "flag tree" or "flag pole". It is situated just in front
of the temple to proclaim the presence of the deity. It represents the
hub of the universe around which all creation revolves. It represents
the spine, the human axis, around which the senses and cosmic energy (Kundalini)
sublimate into the Absolute (Sahasrara). Metaphysically, it acts
as the complementary pole to the murti. These two together create an
energy field to contain the temple’s power.
