In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: eScholarship: Chapters 1-14 of the Hayasirsa PancaratraTantrasamuccaya (तन्त्रसमुच्चय) is a text from Kerala from the early 15th century. Unni mentions the Tantrasamuccaya in the introduction to the Īśānaśivagurudeva Paddhati and then states that it is from the 14th c. Unni also says that it was written by Nārāyaṇa who states that he was born in the Kali year 4529 (1426 A.D). The Tantrasamuccaya quotes extensively from the Mayamatam, the Kāsyapaśilpa and other texts. [...] The Tantrasamuccaya similarly to the Hayaśīrṣa-pañcarātra gives special reference to the presence of particular trees (Tantrasamuccaya, first paṭala verses 16-20). The types of soil are given in descending order; that is the best type is described first. The supadma is clearly the best–abounding in fragrant flowers, lotuses and sandal trees. [...]
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
India history and geography
Source: Yale Journal of Music & Religion: Ritual Music in Contemporary Brahmanical Tantric Temples of KeralaTantrasamuccaya (तन्त्रसमुच्चय) is the name of a text dealing with temple rituals written in the 15th century composed under the Sāmūtiris by Cennas Narayanan Nampūtiri—This important text—prescribing the ritual procedures for seven gods, including major deities such as Śiva, Viṣṇu, and Durgā, minor and local deities such as Gaṇapati, Subramanya, and Śāsta, and Śaṇkaranārāyaṅa, a synthesis of Śiva and Viṣṇu—completed an extremely effective syncretistic operation.
The Tantrasamuccaya is still the main ritual text of the Tantric Brahmanical tradition, which may be described as a Smārta-Brahmanical combination of Śaiva-Siddhānta, Pāñcarātra, and Śrī Vaiṣṇava traditions, including elements of Śākta worship as well as low-caste local gods and goddesses.
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.
