TRIDATU PHILOSOPHY
Tri Datu or Tridatu is an arrangement of threads with profound philosophical significance believed by Hindus to possess power. Tri means three, and Datu means element or color.

The three colors of Tri Datu threads also symbolize the purity of God in His manifestation as Tri Murti:
- Lord Brahma (creator), represented by the color Red,
- Lord Vishnu (preserver), represented by the color White, and
- Lord Iswara/Shiva (destroyer), represented by the color Black.

Moreover, Tri Datu threads serve as a symbol of Tri Kona, namely:
1. Birth,
2. Life, and
3. Death.

After birth, currently living, and eventually death. The use of Tri Datu threads is intended to remind us of the greatness of God as the supreme creator, preserver, and destroyer.
