The Aghoris in Varanasi

The Aghori culture stems from the primordial concepts of Lord Shiva. The Aghoris assume themselves to be the Lord "Aham Shivoham" which means "I am Shiva" and there is nothing prior to the beliefs, activities and practices of the Lord. Aghoris do not believe in social life. Mostly, people come up with criticism against the practices of the Aghoris without knowing their historical lineage and beliefs. The Aghoris have clear reason on their unusual religious practice which the social world finds problems in understanding.
