In Hinduism

Rasashastra (Alchemy and Herbo-Mineral preparations)
Source: History of Science in South Asia: Making Gems in Indian Alchemical LiteratureTejomaya (तेजोमय) refers to “radiant (rubies)”, according to the Vādakhaṇḍa section of the Rasaratnākara (lit. “jewel mine of mercury”): a 13th century alchemical work in Sanskrit written by Nityanātha.—Accordingly, while describing the recipe for creating artificial Rubies: “Pour 24 grams of this into a glass bottle. Roll ‘rain-stones’ around in this. When they have been well-heated, Heat them briefly in mahua oil. Then remove them. They become divinely radiant (divya-tejomaya) rubies”.

Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Tejomaya (तेजोमय) refers to “composed of fire”, and is mentioned in verse 2.5 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “the eye (is) composed of fire [tejomaya], (and) the danger of phlegm (is) particularly (imminent) for it; so one shall apply elixir-salve every seven nights for demueification”.
Note: Tejomaya (“composed of fire”) has been rendered by me-yi raṅ-bźin, which is synonymous with me-las grub-pa and me-las byas-pa (“made out of fire”); see Mahāvyutpatti 6477 where ratnamaya (“composed of gems”) is turned “gźi rin-po-che-las grub-pa’am rin-po-che-las byas-pa’am rin-po-chei ran-bźin”.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraTejomaya (तेजोमय) refers to “that which consists of light” and is used to describe Sūrya, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 13.17-25ab, while describing the appearance and worship of Sūrya]—“Now, I explain that which consists of light (tejomaya-mata) [i.e., Sūrya]. He manifests the siddhi of man. [Sūrya] resembles a red flower, has equal splendor with red juice. [He is] the color of a heap of vermillion, as beautiful as a ruby, appears as the color of safflower. [He] looks like the flower of a pomegranate [and] resembles Soma at the end of time. [Sūrya has] one face, three eyes, four arms, possess a noble nature, and [holds his] hands in the shape of the wish-granting and protection [mudrās]. [...]”.
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.
