Shakti

Shakti is the "Universal Power" in Hinduism, conceived as feminine in essence, and is identified as the consort of the god Shiva. It is the personified energy or power of a male deity and is also referred to as the creative energy of the universe. In Tantric Shaktism, Shakti is the foremost deity, akin to Brahman, and in Puranic Hinduism, Shakti and Shiva are complementary principles. The term Shakta is used to describe people associated with Shakti worship, and the Shakta pithas are shrines believed to be the sacred seats of Shakti.learn more on wikipedia
