But who are the Agoris, and what drives them to practice such a taboo and reviled act? The origins of the Agoris date back centuries, to a time when they were believed to be descended from a group of Hindu ascetics known as the Kapalikas, who were known for their extreme and macabre rituals. The Agoris, however, took their practices to a whole new level, embracing death and decay as a means of achieving spiritual enlightenment. They believe that by consuming the flesh of the deceased, they can absorb their spiritual energy and gain access to their wisdom and power. The Agoris live a nomadic lifestyle, moving from village to village in search of their next meal. They are known to perform elaborate funeral rites, where they cremate the bodies of the deceased and consume their flesh as a form of ritualistic sacrifice. While this practice may seem barbaric to outsiders, to the Agoris, it is a sacred and deeply spiritual act that connects them to the divine. Despite their reputation as cannibals, the Agoris are also revered by some as healers and spiritual advisors.
