Mahima Dharma (Odia: ମହିମା ଧର୍ମ) also known as Mahima Panth, is a Hindu sect practiced primarily in Odisha and nearby states. The religious movement was based on the worship of God, known as ALEKH, as attributeless; as condemnation of all religious customs set by the rich and upper-class society generally.
