In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramBhaṭṭadevī (भट्टदेवी) is the name of the Goddess associated with Oḍḍiyāna, one of the sacred seats (pīṭha), according to chapter 10 of the according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—The Mother and Lord derive their names simply from that of the seat they govern. The goddesses of the seats are those Kubjikā meets there in the course of her tour described in the first chapters of the Kubjikāmatatantra. The names of their male counterparts are not the same as those listed there. But they do coincide with those in the version found in the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā. We notice that they occasionally appear, as the goddesses [i.e., Bhaṭṭadevī] do, in the mantras invoking the sacred seats in some of the numerous forms of the Krama.
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.
