Mula Sangh

Mula Sangh developed lineages including the Deshiya Gana, associated with Shravanabelagola, and the Balatkara Gana, associated with Humbaj and northern India. Their institutional heads, called bhattarakas, maintained libraries and supervised religious installations.

One account attributes the establishment of the Delhi bhattaraka seat to Prabhachandra of Mula Sangh, who travelled from Gujarat during the reign of Muhammad bin Tughlaq in the fourteenth century.
