Source: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the KamikagamaDamanapūjā (दमनपूजा) refers to a type of spring festival (that is to take place in the month of Caitra), 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) [...] Chapters 5 to 18 present a thematic focus on festivals and other occasional rites. [...] In Chapters 13 and 14, we find descriptions of spring festivals in the month of Caitra (e.g., caitramāsa-damanapūjā). Chapters 15 and 16 explain the Śītakumba festival in the month of Vaiśakha and the fruit festival in the month of Jyeṣṭha.
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.
