A sculpture of the goddess Kuṇḍalinī, commonly and historically represented as a coiled cobra, literally meaning ‘the coiled one’, or coiled power.

“It is in this form, otherwise known as Śakti Kuṇḍalinī, that Parā Kuṇḍalinī rests in a potential state in the body. She sleeps in Mulādhāra, the 'Root Support', which is situated at the base of the genital organs, coiled like a snake around Siva's seed (śivabindu) and awakens due to it. This is the form in which cosmic energy resides in the body. When Kuṇḍalinī [coiled snake] awakes, individual consciousness unites with universal consciousness and man discovers his cosmic nature.”
