In Hinduism

Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramCañcalākārā (चञ्चलाकारा) refers to “one having a form is dynamic”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] Free of desire, she fulfils desires and, eternal, is like the rays of the full moon. Her form is dynamic (cañcalākārā) like a lightning flash. (She is) the primordial power who flames up from the mind. She is the power of that god who is formless, imperishable, eternal, ancient, and conjoined with the power Kubjī. She is conceived to be in the face of the venerable Tūṣṇīśanātha. O goddess, this, the eternally active First Face (of lord Śiva) has been explained to you”.
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.
