Ashankism is a Satrian, panentheistic religion, although it is often regarded as more of a way of life than a religion. It is the largest religion in Rajyaghar and has over 50 million worldwide, who are called Ashankus, and dates back to the Mahasanarikavas. The word Ashankism comes from the ancient matrabasha language meaning "The Faith".

Ashankism is a diverse religion with many different sects, beliefs and concepts although all revolve around the same core beliefs known as Sanātana Satya (Matrabashi: सनातन सत्य, lit. "the Eternal Truth"). There are 4 "Sidhanton" (Matrabashi: सिद्धांतों, lit. "Princples") within the Sanātana Satya; the principle of Anekose in which there is one supreme being that spans time and space but there are different forms of this one true being which take up the form of Gods, the physical form is a host of the soul which passes from one host to another through reincarnation, and the principle of karma in which every action has a positive or negative outcome which impacts your journey of reincarnation, and the principle of dharma in which one must walk the ethical and righteous path to be one with the supreme being and break the cycle of reincarnation so that their soul can merge with that of the supreme being. The numerous sects of Ashankism vary in their ritualistic traditions and on the deity to which they focus their worship.
