Tuhinagiri (तुहिनगिरि) refers to the “Himalayas”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā. Accordingly, “Kālī, the mistress of the gods, whose form is crooked, is the supreme manifest energy consisting of eight groups of eight (energies). (She resides) in the divine sacred seat called Candra which, endowed with Śiva’s energy, is the descent of Siddhanātha (into the world). She who descended into Dakṣa’s sacrifice (was reborn) in the family of the Himalayas [i.e., tuhinagiri-kula] in the eighth birth of accomplishment. There the Command is very well known; it removes the abyss of phenomenal existence and is Khañjinī, the wealth of liberation”.
