The Agamas are divided into three areas:
The Vaishnava Agamas or Pancharatra Agamas glorify God as Vishnu.
The Saiva Agamas glorify God as Siva and this has given rise to an important school of philosophy known as Saiva-Siddhanta, which prevails in South India.
The Sakta Agamas or Tantras glorify God as the Mother of the Universe, under one of the many names of Devi.
