In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: Temple management in the ĀgamasTirunandavana refers to “flower gardens” attached to Śiv temples.—Special flowers and leaves, both loose and bound as appropriate garlands are important resources for pūjā. Temples usually have flower gardens called Tirunandavana attached on premises, or at a separate location where endowed by the donor. As seen in the inscription mentioned in the previous section, the temple gardens were taken care of by families settled there for the purpose. They were called tirunandavaṉakkuḍi, or family of the Tirunandavana. They were remunerated with ilakku and koṛṛu, with daily measures of paddy and money as koṛṛu and (what is presumed as) a share of the produce as ilakku.
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.
