Akhadas are monastic organizations that serve as the foundational institutions for Hindu ascetics, including Naga Sadhus. They are primarily divided into three main sects based on their philosophical inclinations: 1. Shaiva Akhadas These Akhadas are devoted to Lord Shiva and emphasize asceticism and spiritual practices like yoga and meditation. 2.
