Explanation:

The Nirankaris Movement was founded by Baba Dayal Das and it was a movement of purification and return. He called for the return of Sikhism to its origin, sometimes during 1840s and emphasised the worship of God as Nirankar (Formless). He rejected all kinds of idols, the rituals associated with idolatry and also the Brahmin Priests, who conducted these rituals. He also rejected those Sikhs, who were allied with the Brahmin Priests. They advocated the path to God was through worship based on meditation rather than complex ritual.
