'''Trikuta''' is a three-peaked mountain.<br />
<br />
==Significance to history and Hinduism==<br />
Trikuta is one of the twenty mountains surrounding Maha Meru ([[Mount Meru]]) the home of Brahma, in the highlands of Northern [[Bactria]] (Tajikistan). The height is said in the [[Bhagavata Purana]] to be 10,000 [[yojana]]s, and the three peaks are iron, silver and gold. The mountain is believed to be (according to Hindu mythology) the second home of the divine goddess [[Durga]]. She was created with the power of the three goddesses to end evil; hence, the mountain is called Trikuta.{{Citation needed|date=January 2017}}<br />
