- In the Hindu religious traditions of Shaktism and Shaivism, Kaula, also known as Kula, Kulamārga ("the Kula path") and Kaulācāra ("the Kaula tradition"), is a Tantric tradition which is characterised by distinctive rituals and symbolism connected with the worship of Shakti and Shiva. It flourished in ancient India primarily in the 1st millennium CE. Kaula preserves some of the distinctive features of the Kāpālika tradition, from which it is derived. It is subdivided into four subcategories of texts based on the goddesses Kuleśvarī, Kubjikā, Kālī, and Tripurasundarī respectively. The Trika texts are closely related to the Kuleśvarī texts and can be considered as part of the Kulamārga. In later Hatha Yoga, the Kaula visualization of kundalini rising through a system of chakras is overlaid onto the earlier bindu-oriented system. (en)
- Kaula, o anche Kula, indica un insieme di tradizioni tantriche derivanti, secondo Gavin Flood, dalle pratiche (letteralmente "adoratori del Kapālin", il Portatore del teschio - uno dei nomi di Śiva -, corrente ascetica shivaita di origini molto antiche, conosciuta per l'abitudine di meditare nei campi crematori). La scuola Kaula è inoltre strettamente legata alle tradizioni Siddha e . Kali e Bhairava in Unione (it)
