In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramHaviṣyānna (हविष्यान्न) [=Hāviṣyānna?] or simply Haviṣya refers to the “sacrificial food”, according to the Kaulāvalinirṇaya.—Accordingly, “At night the pure one eats the sacrificial food [i.e., haviṣyānna] offered to the fire and by day he should repeat the Vidyā. In every circumstance the Hero has two identities (dvivāsa lit. ‘two clothes’) and is always sexually continent. At night he should worship the goddess in accord with Kula practice. It is said here that the enjoined practice (vidhi) is of two kinds for all the twice born”.
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.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Dhiti blog: The Navakalevara Ceremony at PuriHaviṣyānna (हविष्यान्न) refers to the “ceremony of partaking of food” (associated with Vanayātra and Vanayāga).—Navakalevara is the name of a festival (symbolizing the cycle of birth, death and re-birth) which is celebrated at Puri: a sacred site home to the eternal abode of Śrī Jagannātha (a form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa).—Jagannātha is made of dāru (wood) because a dāru image cuts up the miseries of the world and imparts eternal bliss. [...] On the 10th day of Caitra, initial rituals mark the beginning of the yātrā for the search for the dārus, [...] The search for the dārus may last a couple of weeks. When a tree fulfilling the criteria is successfully traced, the party circumambulates the tree, smears it with sandal paste and vermillion, offers flowers, and wraps a new piece of cloth around it. The bhūtas (spirits) living on or near the trees are then propitiated with offerings of grains and spices, and Śrī Viṣṇu is asked to command them to leave. Then, a yajñaśāla (sacrificial pavilion) is built by clearing space around the tree. After the requisite aṅkurāropaṇa (sowing of seeds for germination) and haviṣyānna (partaking of food) are completed, the Brahmins perform a specific fire sacrifice, the vanayāga.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
