Pūjādhiṣṭhāna (पूजाधिष्ठान) refers to one of the topics discussed in the Liṅgārcanatantra, a Sanskrit manuscript collected in volume 1 of the catalogue “Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts (first series)” by Rajendralal Mitra (1822–1891), who was one of the first English-writing historians dealing with Indian culture and heritage.— The Liṅgārcanatantra deals with the rules and advantages of worshiping the Liṅga. It contains roughly 1,000 ślokas.—The catalogue includes the term—Pūjādhiṣṭhāna in its ‘subject-matter list’ or Viṣaya (which lists topics, chapters and technical terms). The complete entry reads—[chapter 5: pūjādhiṣṭhānamaṇḍalayantrādikathanaṃ ].
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.
