Baarmati religion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Barmati Panth)

Barmati Panth is a religious tradition founded by Dhani Matang Dev around 1100 CE. Its followers are spread now in Kutch (now in Gujarat, India) and Sindh (now in Pakistan).

The term Barmati means four direction and eight corners joined to form twelve (bar in gujarati languages) Barmati Panth. The Barmati Panth was founded on peak of Karumbha dungar (mountain range in Palitana, later through scriptures of Matang dev founded by their heirs and won in legal battle on the basis of Jain scriptures which itself named is at Matang caves). On peak of karumbha dungar a Narvadh yagna was performed to establish Barmati pant.[1][2]
