The Kinnara Akhada people stand in for Shiva's Ardhnareshwar avatar and Parvati, the goddess of victory. After 23 years of spiritual effort, being a Mahamandaleshwar of such an Akhada is like receiving an Olympic gold. Goddess Adishakti alone has bestowed this accolade upon her. Being a part of the Kinnar Akhada meant freedom to her; therefore, she decided to join. This place is completely unrestricted.
