Indian cults refer to various religious groups or sects that often have unique beliefs and practices distinct from mainstream religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, or Islam. These cults can vary widely in their teachings, rituals, and community structures, sometimes focusing on a charismatic leader or specific spiritual practices. Many Indian cults emphasize personal transformation, spiritual enlightenment, or devotion to a particular deity. Some well-known examples include the Brahma Kumaris and the Art of Living Foundation. While some cults promote positive social change, others may face criticism for their practices or the influence they exert over followers.
