Are there Female Aghoris?

Female Aghoris are rare but exist within the Aghori tradition, which is known for its unconventional and intense spiritual practices. Like male Aghoris, female Aghoris focus on breaking societal norms and seeking enlightenment through practices that transcend the physical world.

They may engage in rituals such as meditation in cremation grounds, using mantras, and connecting with the divine through practices considered taboo, like using elements of death in their rituals. While their practices are similar to those of male Aghoris, female Aghoris often face societal challenges due to gender roles, making their presence in the tradition less visible.

Overall, female Aghoris follow the same core philosophy: seeking spiritual liberation by embracing the unity of all things, including life and death, and transcending dualities like good and evil. However, their role is more discreet, and there are fewer well-known female Aghoris in comparison to men.
