The Shodasi Tantra, a treatise on the Tantra, describes Tripura Sundari as "the radiant light in the eyes of Shiva". She is described as being of dusky color, and is depicted in an intimate position with an aspect of Shiva. The couple are shown on a bed, a throne, or a pedestal resting on the significant male gods of Hinduism like Brahma,Vishnu ,Rudra Nd Indra.
Kashmiris are the foremost in worship of Tripura Sundari, who are the only ones who remember the hymn to Tripura Sundari, Pancastavi in entirety.Tripura Sundari is described in great detail as extremely attractive, beautiful., and erotically inclined.The Lalitha Sahasranama details her charms from head to foot, and the most part of the Saundaryalahari is similarly occupied with her attractive appearance. She is often said to give desire and to suffuse the creation with desire. The Saundaryalahari also states that a worn-out old man, ugly and sluggish in the arts of love, can be restored to sexual attractiveness and vigor by her glance. The description of a beautiful woman, part by part, in the process of her arraying herself (shringar), was an established poetic form in Indian classical literature.
The several names that associate or identify her with the female sexual organ in her thousand-name hymn in the Vamakeshvara Tantra also suggest the erotic character of the goddess.The Tripura Sundari Ashtakam by Adi Shankaracharya describes her as a Mother, her nourishing breasts akin to mountain peaks that give birth to rivers. She is described wearing a blue dress with red spots, holding a pot of honey, her eyes quivering with intoxication.
