Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsPītānulepana (पीतानुलेपन) refers to “yellow garlands”, as quoted by Hṛdayaśiva in his Prāyaścittasamuccaya (verse 10.27-35).—Accordingly, “[...] Wearing yellow garments and yellow garlands (pītānulepana) and unguents and a yellow sacred thread he should perform the excellent observance of rudrāṇī for a month. The competent ritualist, constantly devoted to the worship of Śiva, should perform the observance for puruṣṭuta for one month with all accoutrements being black. [...]”.
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.
