Did you know... that the Akshamalika Upanishad, the Bhasmajabala Upanishad, the Brihajjabala Upanishad, the Kalagni Rudra Upanishad, and the Rudrakshajabala Upanishad glorify Shaiva sectarian practices, such as smearing ash on the body (pictured)?

Infobox image

@Redtigerxyz: Please reconsider the image, as the one you added back illustrates ash smearing but not with Tripundra (it is a different forehead mark). It does not represent what is described in the Brihajjabala Upanishad manuscript, per MOS:IMAGES guidelines. The smoking is misleading too, and nothing to do with the Upanishad. We don't have to go back to what I replaced it with, and I am fine with any other image that is representative and illustrative. How about this or this or something else? I like your idea of one image with ash smearing, but the image should not have an incorrect forehead mark, which Brihajjabala states to be fundamental (see Chatterjee's book page 60).
