Trikonaga (त्रिकोणगा, IAST: Trikoṇagā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who dwells within the sacred triangle”. From tri (three), koṇa (angle, corner), and gā (she who moves or dwells), this name places Lalitā in the innermost triangular enclosure of the Śrī Yantra, the most sacred abode of the Goddess.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The trikoṇa, or downward-pointing triangle at the heart of the Śrī Cakra, is the symbol of the yoni and the seat of Parāśakti's highest presence. Gā from the root gam indicates continuous, living presence — she does not merely reside there but dynamically inhabits and animates it. As Trikoṇagā, Lalitā is the luminous awareness pulsing at the geometric center of the cosmos.

This yantra-centered epithet is particularly revered in Śrī Vidyā upāsanā. Pronounced 'tri-ko-nuh-gaa'; the name is elegant and concise enough for use as a given name by devoted families.
