In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)Śābarotsava (शाबरोत्सव) refers to the “festival of Śabara-tribes”, as part of the Navarātra Tantric ritual (an autumnal festival of the warrior goddess Caṇḍikā).—On Daśamī: worship of Goddess Aparājitā; śābarotsava; royal consecration (abhiṣeka) of king with empowered water from the opening kalaśapūjā.—[...] The orgiastic śābarotsava (The Festival of Śabara-tribes) on Daśamī (as taught in the Kālikāpurāṇa and Dharmaśāstric literature), served to identify it as a ritualized act of cohesion. The Goddess herself was a metaphor of this cohesion, worshipped by both outcastes and people within the caste hierarchy. Indeed, literature, particularly classical kāvya, shows that her role as an outcaste deity preceded that of the Goddess of special importance to a Kṣatriya.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
