The Aghori
(Sanskrit aghora) are a small group of vamacharic ascetic Shaiva
sadhus. They engage in post-mortem rituals. They often dwell in charnel
grounds, smear cremation ashes on their bodies, and use bones from
human corpses for crafting kapalas (skull cups) and jewellery.
Lord Shiva curses such aghoris for desecrating other people's bodies.
