In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) Śāvarī (शावरी) refers to a form of the Goddess, according to the Ambāmatasaṃhitā.—Accordingly, “When the dvāpara (Age) came, (the goddess) went to the venerable cave (gahvara) of (the sacred seat called) Pūrṇa and, having assumed the form of a Śāvarī, became of benefit to (the whole) universe. (Similarly, the god), having attained the power of the knowledge (of the teachings), arose (there) in order to sport (with the goddess). [...]”.
2) Śāvarī (शावरी) (or Śavara) refers to a number of tribes who are commonly associated with the deities, major and minor, in many Tantric traditions of this sort, both Śaiva and Buddhist. Implicit in these associations is that these deities, in this case those of the sacred seats, are related to tribal ones. However, the relationship is typological, not direct, as would be the case if they had been simply directly assimilated from tribal religions. Even so, it is a notable fact that in the outer world many of the sites the Tantras consider to be sacred in which goddesses and Tantric deities are worshipped are, in fact, located in tribal areas
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.
