Khaturvism (qatuluhan), or more commonly Khaturva or Cakrism (cakarayanah), is an East Borean religion comprising a diverse set of beliefs, traditions and spiritual practices revolving around Arta-Dharma, a cosmic energy that is the source of all coherent reality. Its traditionally ranged in Eastern and Southern Borea, overlapping with Kiaism, Taojiao and Kamism. Its adherents are called Khaturvans its adjective form being Khaturvic.
Much of Khaturvism's theological and terminological basis comes from Vedic and Monic traditions, but ultimately is born out of a formalized syncretism between Old Vedic religion and the animist traditions of the Boreo-Lahudic peoples. The gradual foundation of Khaturva as a concrete religious identity continued on up to the 14th to 18th centuries, eventually developing into a distinct body of thought from then on. Relative diffusion would later make rise to regional and doctrinal variants focused on the patronage of particular deities and their elemental qualities, such as in Min and Tinza, or towards an alternative understanding of the Khaturvi weltanschauung.
Khaturvism's relative lack of philosophical basis other than relating to the nature of the dual world has led both adherents and outsiders to view the faith as more of a spiritual understanding of reality. Seeing the world through the patterns of order and the lack of such in disorder, Khaturva throughout its history served as a proto-scientific and esoteric way of defining the universe, coherent and separate from the ideas of its eastern antecedents' thought, which it broke off during its late infancy.
