Source: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the KamikagamaDakṣiṇāmūrtipratiṣṭhā (दक्षिणामूर्तिप्रतिष्ठा) refers to “installation for images of Dakṣiṇāmūrti”, 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 Uttarabhāga consists of 98 chapters (paṭalas) [...] In Chapters 47 to 54, we find accounts of installation for images of Śiva with Umā and Skanda, images of Candraśekhara, Tripurāntaka, Liṅgodbhava, Dakṣiṇāmūrti (dakṣiṇāmūrtipratiṣṭhā), Bhikṣāṭana, Balibhartā, and Śarabheśa.
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.
