Akhila Bharatha Veerashaiva Mahasabha and Jagathika Lingayat Mahasabha
Community organisation
Karnataka
Two bodies with opposing positions on Lingayat identity: the panchapeethas and the Veerashaiva Mahasabha hold that Veerashaivas and Lingayats are one tradition, while the Jagathika Lingayat Mahasabha seeks a separate religion. Vanshmool presents both and labels neither.
