Dasa Mahavidya (दशमहाविद्या).

The ten major Devis of Great Wisdoms are a group of 10 aspects of Adishakti in Shaktism.

The 10 Mahavidyas are
Kali, Tara, Tripura Sundari (Shodoshi), Bhuvaneshvari, Tripura Bhairavi, Chhinnamasta, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi & Kamala.
In Tantra, worship of Devi-Shakti is referred to as a Vidya. Of the hundreds of tantrik practices, the worship of these 10 major Devis is called the Dasa Mahavidya.
According to Devi Maha Bhagavata creation of Mahavidyas is associated with Devi sati & Daksha's Yagna.

After futile attempts to convince Shiva, the enraged Sati transforms into the Mahavidyas, who surround Shiva from the ten cardinal directions.
