In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Śaktisangamatantra (शक्तिसन्गमतन्त्र) is the name of 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 Śaktisangamatantra is a voluminous compendium of the Hindu Tantra comprising four books on Kālī, Tārā, Sundarī and Chinnamastā. It is an original Tantra, including the whole circle of the Śākta cult. It is said to have originally contained sixty-thousand (60.000) ślokas, but the manuscript examined does not exceed eleven thousand (11.000) ślokas. It is divided into four parts or khaṇḍas, of which the 1st comprises twenty chapters, the 2nd, sixty-five chapters, the 3rd, nineteen chapters, and the 4th, eleven chapters.
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.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
