About Sects & Panths
India's spiritual landscape includes numerous reform movements and syncretic traditions that emerged over centuries. These sects often bridge caste divisions, combine Hindu and other traditions, and emphasize the universality of the divine. Unlike the formal akharas, sects (panths/sampradayas) are organized around the teachings of a founder-saint.
