Kinnar Akhara removed Mamta Kulkarni from the prestigious post of Mahamandaleshwar after internal tensions surfaced within the religious organization. Kulkarni's appointment, which had been controversial due to her past in Bollywood, was met with resistance from several members. Juna Akhara expelled both Kulkarni and her guru, Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, citing growing discontent. The decision came after rumors suggested Tripathi might be relieved of her duties. Kulkarni had recently performed 'pind daan' at Sangham Ghat, and Tripathi defended her appointment, stating Kulkarni had been in touch with the Akhara for over a year.
