In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramTejoliṅga (तेजोलिङ्ग) refers to the “liṅga of power”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—The Divine (divya) Liṅga, full of the energy of the Goddess’s austerity which is her effulgent power (tejas), is called the Liṅga of Power (tejoliṅga). The body of the goddess is invisible, hidden in the Liṅga which, made of pure gold, moves like the flame of a lamp that burns in the centre of the maṇḍala. This flame is identified with both the entire Vidyā of the goddess and her seed-syllable. The Divine Liṅga is thus sustained by the most intense form of the Command, that is, the one enshrined in the Goddess’s Vidyā and seed-syllable.
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.
