In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramTripurapura (त्रिपुरपुर) refers to the “city of three cities”.—Tripurabhairavī, who is an immediate precursor of the much better-known goddess Tripurasundarī, is not worshipped in Śrīcakra. An intermediary between the goddess Kubjikā and Tripurasundarī (i.e. Śrīvidyā), she emerges from the same pleroma of divine forms, as does the former. [...] Tripurabhairavī's seed-syllable is AIṂ as is that of Kubjikā who precedes her in time and Śrīvidyā who appears after her. Note also that the triangle in the centre of Tripurabhairavī's maṇḍala is called the ‘city of three cities’ (tripurapura) from which she derives her name. Although not evident in this passage, this Triangle is the same as the one in the centre of both Kubjikā’s maṇḍala and Śrīcakra.
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.
