kāñcōḷīpantha m An order of libertines in Gujarát. They meet on certain days, and, after feasting &c., they put all the कांचोळ्या of the females into a vessel, whence the महंत or Superior, after reciting a mantra, draws them and distributes them, at his pleasure, to the males. The woman owning the कांचोळी is to be, for that night, the property of the man receiving it.
