The Hindus are divided into three great classes, viz., '''Vaishnavas''' who worship the Lord as Vishnu; '''Saivas''' who worship the Lord as Siva; and '''Saktas''' who adore Devi or the Mother aspect of the Lord. In addition, there are the Sauras, who worship the Sun-God; Ganapatyas who worship Ganesa as supreme; and Kaumaras who worship Skanda as the Godhead.
