In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramUddharaṇa (उद्धरण) refers to “that which saves (from the world of transmigration)”, according to the Jayadrathayāmala verse 1.45.1.—Accordingly, “All this, the endless essence of the scriptures that saves from the world of transmigration (saṃsāra-uddharaṇa) and the rest is founded on the teacher”.
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Yoga Vasishtha MaharamayanaUddharaṇa (उद्धरण) refers to “rooting out (the tree of desire)”, as mentioned in the Yogavasistha 6.33 (“Resolution of duality into unity”).—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vasiṣṭha: “[...] It is the thought or imagination, that makes the false world appear as true; and it depends upon the thought also, that the world vanishes into nothing. It is the net work of our thoughts and desires, that is interwoven with the threads of our repeated births; but the winds of our apathy and indifference blow off this web, and settle us in the state of supreme felicity. Avarice is a thorny plant, that has taken deep root in the human heart; it is fostered under the shade of the arbor of desire, root out this tree of desire (saṃkalpamūla-uddharaṇa), and the thorny bush of avarice will fade away of itself. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.

Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts1) Uddhāraṇa (उद्धारण) refers to the “escape (from saṃsāra)”, according to the fourteenth chapter of the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā, a Pāñcarātra work in 60 chapters dealing with topics such as Viṣṇu’s discus-power, the processes of creation and esoteric practices related to Sudarśana (such as mantras and yantras).—Description of the chapter [jīvasya saṃsārahetutaduddhāraṇaprakāravarṇanaṃ]: [...] Whatever happens to man, whatever be his condition in this life, is the Will of Viṣṇu in operation responding to man’s own voluntary involvement (10b-25). Even in the context of saṃsāra, God’s Grace (kṛpā) is available to relieve man; and, although to some jñāna has been granted even they are nonetheless still bound to their duties and austere pursuits (26-41).
2) Uddhāraṇa (उद्धारण) refer to “taking (the icon) out (of the water immersion)”, as discussed in chapter 17 of the Puruṣottamasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text consisting of more than 1800 verses devoted to temple-building and the practical concerns of the Pāñcarātra priestly community.—Description of the chapter [vāstupuruṣāvāhana-jala-uddhāraṇa]: The next morning [continuing from chapter XV], vāstupūjā is done (1-12a.) That afternoon the Ācārya removes the icon from the water and takes it to the yāgamaṇḍapa (12b-17).
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: Google Books: Consecration Rituals In South AsiaUddhāraṇa (उद्धारण) refers to “uninstalling (the damaged idol) from its pedestal” and represents one of the rituals related to removing of the damaged idol, according to Kerala ritual texts such as the Śaivāgamanibandhana, Prayogamañjarī and the Īśanagurudevapaddhati.—When it is only a damaged liṅga or idol that needs to be deconsecrated and removed and a new one re-installed, a three-day ritual is followed. Among the different rituals performed during such a re-installation, the rite of extracting the life (jīva) from the idol or jīvodvāsana and the uninstalling the damaged idol from its pedestal or bimba-uddhāraṇa are the most important, and they can be performed only by an experienced priest.
Vastushastra (वास्तुशास्त्र, vāstuśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions. Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.
