What Are 14 Hindu Seer Akharas? All About Guardians Of Sanatan Dharma

The akhara system, established by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century, was initially created to train warrior monks for the protection of Hinduism. Today, it encompasses 13 akharas, including Juna, Niranjani, Nirmohi, and Bada Udasin, representing Sanyasi, Vaishnav, and Udasin traditions. These groups, though divided by belief systems, play crucial roles in the Kumbh Mela, from organizing the event to enhancing the spiritual experience of devotees. The Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad, formed in 1954, facilitates coordination among the akharas. The inclusion of the Kinnar Akhara in 2019 was a landmark step towards embracing diversity, and all akharas are set to participate in the Maha Kumbh 2025. (Picture source - PTI)
