Source: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the KamikagamaTrimūrtisthāpana (त्रिमूर्तिस्थापन) refers to the “installation of images of Trimūrti”, 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 60 to 66 provide instructions for the installation of images of Śiva as half-Umā, half-Viṣṇu, images of Trimūrti (trimūrtisthāpana), Vṛṣārūḍha, Gaṅgādhara, Skanda, Caṇḍeśa, and Śivabhaktas.
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.
