Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: archive.org: The Vinashikha TantraTumburumaṇḍala (तुम्बुरुमण्डल) refers to the Maṇḍala (motif) of Tumburu—a four-faced manifestation of Śiva (called “god of gods”), according to the Viṇāśikhatantra—an important and unique document of the Tumburu tradition or Vāmasrotas within early Tantric Shaivism framed in a monologue of Śiva to Devī.—Accordingly, [while describing the construction of a maṇḍala of Tumburu and the four goddesses]: The maṇḍala has a square form and is provided with four gates. Within it, a lotus with four petals is designed in the colours white (for Jayā, in the East), red (for Vijayā, in the South), yellow (for Ajitā, in the West), and black (for Aparājitā, in the North). The centre, in four colours, belongs to Tumburu. The deities are symbolized by their bījas.
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.
