Kalamukha The Kalamukha were a medieval Shaivite sect of the Deccan Plateau who were among the first professional monks of India. Their earliest monasteries were built in Mysore. == Origin and etymology == Information regarding the Kalamukha sect takes the form of inscriptions relating to temple grants and texts usually written by their opponents. They appear to have been an offshoot of the Pashupata sect, about whom more is known. Their name was derived from ', meaning ''black-faced'', which refers to their painting of a black streak as a symbolic caste mark on their face. Evidence from the ''Puranas'' and similar ancient texts makes it clear that they were also known by other names, such as ''Laguda'', ''Lakula'' and ''Nakula'', and associated with other words meaning ''black-faced'', such as ''Kalanana''. The rise of the Kalamukhas to a position of influence coincided with the popularisation of the ''agama'' texts of Shaivism, and they are shown in the ''Tirumandiram'' as one of the six schools of thought to emerge from the ''agamas''. Theirs was not, however, a school based purely on the ''agamas'' as they also took heed of the orthodox ''Śruti'' and were well-versed in the Vaisheshika and Nyaya schools. The Kalamukhas were themselves subdivided, with at least two divisions, called the Saktiparisad and the Simhaparisad. The former of these were found over a wide-ranging area and the latter were mostly concentrated around the districts of Dharwar and Shimoga.
