Shaivism is an old Hindu sect who reveres the Lord Shiva as the Supreme being and the followers of Shaivism are called as Shaivites. Shaivism is one of the oldest and the largest traditions within Hinduism and it is sub-divided into sub-traditions.
Lingaytism, founded in the 12th century is a religious Shaivite tradition which emphasizes bhakti and qualified monism towards Shiva and the group is notable as they wear an iconographic form of the “ishtalinga”. It is predominant in Karnataka and other nearby southern states of India.
Veerashaivas are also a form of the Shaivism sect that came into existence almost 60, 000 years ago and is spread widely across the country in Karnataka, Gujarat, Maharshtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, and Uttar Pradesh.
Although Veerashaivism and Lingayatism were used interchangeably as synonyms to talk about a particular sect, there have been debates that they are both different.
The Veerashaivas are known to follow the old Vedas and Upanishads and accept the Lord Shiva from the literature works and chant shlokas in Sanskrit. But the Lingayats were known to completely protest against these and chanted their shlokas in Kannada.
