The Shri Panch Dashnam Juna Akhara is identifiable by its role as one of the oldest and largest monastic orders in India, dedicated to Lord Dattatreya. Headquartered here in Varanasi, this assembly of spiritual authorities functions as a center for the Dashnami Sampradaya, a tradition of renunciation founded by Adi Shankaracharya. The word juna means ancient, and the organization traces its roots back to eleven forty-six in Karnaprayag, originally under the name Bhairavi Akhara.
