This inventory included, inter alia, the ceremonial idol (Utsava Vigraha) of Goddess Sri Sarada Swaroopa Rajasyamala, a quartz Siva Linga of Sri Chandramouliswara Swamy, an emerald Siva Linga, a śālagrām (a sacred stone worshipped by the devotees and supposed to be pervaded by the presence of Lord Vishnu), Sri Narasimha Swamy idol, and Sri Chakra. Sri Swaroopanandendra Saraswati Swamy established Visakha Sri Sarada Peetham using this spiritual paraphernalia."[1] In Sri Vidya the deity of Raja Shyamala Devi is the minister of Tripura Sundari and ruler of the heart.
