Source: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the KamikagamaGhṛtakambalapūjā (घृतकम्बलपूजा) refers to the “festival of the ‘ghee blanket’” (in the month of Māgha), according to the Kāmikāgama: an ancient Śaiva Āgama scripture in 12,000 Sanskrit verses dating to at least the 5th century and represented as an encyclopedic account of ritual instructions (kriyāpāda).—In modern print editions, the Kāmika-āgama is structured in two major parts. The Uttarabhāga consists of 98 chapters (paṭalas) [...] Chapters 5 to 18 present a thematic focus on festivals and other occasional rites. [...] Chapters 9 and 10 detail festivals which are to take place during the months of Mārgaśīrṣa and Pūṣya, and the festival of the “ghee blanket” in the month of Māgha (māghamāsa-ghṛtakambalapūjā).
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.
