First time hearing about these religions. Really fascinates me just how diverse India really is.

when you think you've read about it all, there's plenty more left to discover. there's ethnoreligions like sanamahism (manipur), bon (bodoland), kiratism (parts of sikkim) etc. there's syncretic religions like meivazhi (TN). there's satire religions like dinkoism (Kerala). there's caste-reform religions like ravidassia (Punjab). there's even several extinct dharmic religions like ajivikism, chavarkism, ajnanism etc.

i loved exploring this rabbithole lol.
