Laksmi Tantra

Visnuism is one of the chief religions of the Hindus and the Pancaratra is the oldest surviving Visnuite sect.

The influence of its tenets on later Visnuism has undoubtedly been great, but has never been thoroughly explored.

Despite change and corruption the ritual worship described in the old Pancaratra texts is still performed today in many of the famous temples in southern India and in some in the north.
