Sthanak Vasi

Sthanakvasi (स्थानकवासी) is a sect of Jainism founded by a merchant named Lavaji about 1653 CE that believes that God is 'nirakar' (without form) and hence do not pray to any statue. The sect is essentially a reformation of the one founded on teachings of Lonka, himself a fifteenth-century Jainist reformer.
