Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: Temple management in the ĀgamasVimānasthāpana (विमानस्थापन) refers to a certain ceremony performed by Ādiśaiva priests (Ācāryas), as defined in the Śaivāgamas.—The Ācāryas were honoured with dakṣiṇā on the occasion of [various] ritual ceremonies. Besides that, they received a share of the naivedya and nirmālya each day. [...] After Vimānasthāpana and Maṇḍapasthāpana, the Āgama recommends that the Guru along with the Mūrtipa be honoured with new clothes and appropriate dakṣiṇā starting from 10 niṣka in the case of vimānasthāpana. In the chapter on Parivāralakṣaṇa, the āgama specifies dakṣiṇā between one and ten niṣka for all ritual officiants starting from the Guru.
Source: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the KamikagamaVimānasthāpana (विमानस्थापन) refers to the “consecration rites to be performed for temples”, according to the Kāmikāgama: an ancient Śaiva Āgama scripture in 12,000 Sanskrit verses dating to at least the 5th century and represented as an encyclopedic account of ritual instructions (kriyāpāda).—In modern print editions, the Kāmika-āgama is structured in two major parts. The Pūrvabhāga consists of 75 chapters (paṭalas) [...] Chapter 68 outlines the steps involved in the installation of divine images. Chapters 69 and 70 describe consecration rites to be performed for temples and pavillions after they have been built (e.g., vimānasthāpana).
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
