Nirmohi Akhara (meaning "Group without Attachment")[1] is a Hindu religious denomination. It is one of the 14 akharas recognized by the Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad, and belongs to the Vaishnava sampradaya.[2] It is headed by Mahant Bhaskar Das. It was established in 1720 by Ramanandacharya. The rich sect owns many temples and mutts in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Bihar. Members of the sect are expected to lead a simple and austere life of celibacy and accept Rama as the presiding God. New recruits to the sect are mainly in their teens and maybe from any Hindu caste. They are put through a gruelling schedule of mastering the Hindu scriptures (Vedas and Upanishads) and also martial arts. In former times members of the sect had a mandate to provide protection to the followers of Rama and were provided rigorous training in archery, swordsmanship and wrestling. These are still part of their curriculum but in a moderate way.
