In Hinduism

: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsŚܰ峾 (शुक्लाम्बर) refers to a “white garment�, according to the Siddhayogeśvarīmata chapter 10.—Accordingly, “[Bhairava spoke]:—[...] The male or female practitioner, with his/her mind focused on the mantra, should perform worship according to prescriptions and then undertake the vow. [In the first of these] all his limbs covered with ashes, the practitioner is to observe silence and should wear a white garment (śܰ峾); he should be of good understanding. He must have a white sacred thread, he should be free from desire and established in self-restraint.�.
