The Lingayats challenged the theory of rebirth and thus disapproved of this practice.Lingayats believe that on death the devotee will be united with Shiva and will not return to this world.Therefore, they do not practise funerary rites such as cremation, prescribed in the Dharmashastras.Instead, they ceremonially bury their dead.
