Question
Description acceptable. A variant of this tradition that places its central figure as the highest of the “fourteen gods” was founded in the same region as an ancient site associated with this tradition, Unakoti. This tradition historically developed from two paths, the “outer path” and the “path of mantras.” Lakulisha (“luh-koo-LEE-shuh”) founded a variant of this tradition whose adherents engage in odd behavior to attract public disapproval, called the Pāshupata (“PAH-shoo-puh-tuh”) school. It’s not bhakti (“BUCK-tee”), but the Tirumurai hymns were composed by 63 saints of this tradition known as the Nayanars. Adherents of this tradition wear the tripundra, which consists of three [emphasize] horizontal lines of ash on the forehead. This tradition’s central figure is represented by a pillar-like symbol called a lingam. For 10 points, name this tradition that worships the “Destroyer” of the Hindu Trimurti. ■END■
