Centered around its founder, the Maratan lawmaker [[Bhimendra Sakpal]], it is a faith made by and for the dalits—those seen as the lowest of the low within the caste-based society that exists even to the modern age in some capacity. The faith is seen to be taken advantage of by the government of the [[unionstate|Union State]], utilizing the almost cult-like following around Sakpal by Navagauravan adherents in order to centralize both legitimacy and authority therein. {{tag>religion nirvanism navagaurava}}
