ABSTRACT
This chapter offers a broad overview of the three key terms used as: Tantra, Sakta and puja. It discusses the representation and ritual of the goddess Tripurasundari. Online religion represented how the fluid and flexible nature of the Internet allowed new forms of religiosity and lived religious practice online. The term Tantra stands for many different elements of Indian religions and Indian religiosity. Tantra is a living tradition, and most Tantric adepts and practitioners continue to vigilantly guard the secrets of the tradition. In addition to the smarta bowdlerization of Tantra, the shifting tides of modern India and the British colonial moral sensibility contributed to push the fierce forms of Tantric rituals and practices into a cloaked existence. With regards to Hindu Sakta Tantra, the Kamakhya temple and online pujas, a veil exists at the social, cultural and subconscious levels.
