In Shaktism, main figure is Mother Shakti.

Mostly people see only Goddess Durga as a figure of Shakti, but in Shaktism, she is just an incarnation of divine Shakti. Shaktism mainly contains of worshipping Mahavidyas. In Shaktism, mainly Dakshinachaar, Knowledge is given most preference, even more than worship and Bhakti, however, Bhakti is also important for Chitt Shuddhi. Shaktism contains a very vast Pooja paddhati, even of Lost Sampradayas and rarest deities in Hinduism. Shaktas believe in all Vedas, Upnishads, Puranas and almost all Tantras. Main divisions in Shaktism are:- Shri kul, Kali Kul, Vajrakul and Siddhakubjika kul, which further have different guru Paramparas. There were also other sects like Lakshmi kul, Chhinnmasta kul, Saraswat, etc., But seeing thier verge of extinction, mainstream Shri and Kalikul merged in themselves. All Shaktas believe in Adwait philosophy, primarily Parinaamvaad.
