Shaktism is a religious belief system that venerates the divine feminine principle of power and energy, usually embodied in the Hindu goddess Devi. There are several synonyms for this term, including Shakti worship, Devi worship, Tantric goddess worship, and Adi Shakti worship. All of these terms refer to the same basic concept of worshiping the feminine energy or power that permeates the universe. Shaktism is particularly popular in India, where it is considered one of the main branches of Hinduism. However, it has also spread to other parts of the world and is now practiced by a growing number of people.
