Jangama is a member of the order of wandering monks, said to have been created by Mahadev of the Kailas Parvat (modern day Himalayan range).
The word Jangam means "dynamic or moving" in Sanskrit.
When different religious movements rose and fell in India, they have constantly changed the meanings of words like Jangama.
The people who belong to this caste will have surnames ending with either "Mutt" or "Math". They are also called as "Swamys".
