In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Semantic Scholar: The Brahmayāmalatantra (dissertation)Navayāga (नवयाग) refers to the “nine pantheons (of the Brahmayāmala)” according to the Brahmayāmalatantra (or Picumata), an early 6th century Śaiva text consisting of twelve-thousand verses.—[Cf. Yāgavidhi]—Several sections of the text teach the basic yāgas or mantra-deity pantheons of the Brahmayāmala and their associated rites (yāgavidhi/vidhāna). The Nine Yāgas, pantheons centered upon each deity, in turn, of the core maṇḍala—Bhairava (-Bhairavī), the Four Devīs, and Four Dūtīs—are listed by name in the opening of Brahmayāmala III. These have their configurations specified in Brahmayāmala XIII, the “chapter on the Nine Pantheons” (navayāga-paṭala). Gṛhayāga, or the worship performed in a shrine utilizing the Nine Pantheons, appears to be the normative form of daily worship.
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.
