The Mahavidya (Sanskrit: महाविद्या, IAST: Mahāvidyā, lit. Great Wisdoms) are a group of ten Hindu Tantric goddesses. The 10 Mahavidyas are usually named in the following sequence: Kali, Tara, Tripura Sundari, Bhuvaneshvari, Bhairavi , Chhinnamasta, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi and Kamala.

Dasa Mahavidya is placed above the other practices because it leads to a state of complete spirituality. There are specific procedures to worship the two deities Shakthi and Shiva. They are the presiding deities for each planet out of nine planets. Worship of these deities will get relived from navagraha dosham.
