In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: ŚaivismRudrāgāreśvara (रुद्रागारेश्वर) is the name of a Liṅga (symbolical manifestation of Śiva) that is associated with the Rudrasnāna-tīrtha (a sacred bathing place). It represents the sixty-fourth of the sixty-four siddhaliṅgas mentioned in the Nepalese Tyasaphu (a folding book or leporello). At each of these spots Śiva is manifest as a Liṅga. Each of these liṅgas (e.g., Rudrāgāra-īśvara) has its own specific name, mantra, set of rituals and observances, auspicious time etc.
The auspiscious time for bathing near the Rudrāgāreśvara-liṅga at the Rudrasnāna-tīrtha is mentioned as “vaiśākha-kṛṣṇa-trayodaśī āṣāḍha-pūrṇimā” (latin: vaishakha-krishna-trayodashi ashadha-purnima). This basically represents the recommended day for bathing there (snānadina).
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.
