In Hinduism

Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAnāmacakra (अनामचक्र) refers to the “wheel of Anāma”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—The goddess is “the Nameless (anāmā), the energy which is consciousness (who resides) in the maṇḍala of the Nameless (anāmamaṇḍala)”. [...]. Anāma is the highest maṇḍala. It is the seventh Wheel beyond the series of six Wheels. The goddess Khecarī resides there. The adept who reaches this level attains the state Beyond the Fourth and, identified with Bhairava, attains the accomplishment of flight by uniting with the energy of the goddess who moves in the expanse of pure, transcendental consciousness—the Nameless maṇḍala. She is Anāmā in the Lord’s maṇḍala. She is Khecarī in the middle of Anāmacakra, which is both the internal and the external maṇḍala of the goddess.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
