		In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries most such conflicts resulted in favour of the Shaivites, such as was the case of the Shaivite-Vaishnavite armed battles at the Kumbh Mela at Hardwar in 1640 and in 1760 as well as at the Kumbh Mela at Nasik in 1789.

		The Shaivite Brahmans supervised the worship of Shiva's phallic symbol, the lingam (linga), in order to tap the god's favours on behalf of their royal patrons.
		These Brahmans were representatives of an increasingly influential devotional movement (bhakti) in contemporary Indian Hinduism; they probably also taught their patrons how to achieve a personal relationship with the god through "austerity, strength, and self-restraint," in the words of one inscription from Borneo.
		The rulers, therefore, were encouraged to attribute their worldly successes to Shiva's grace; the grace was obtained through devotional exercises lovingly offered to Shiva and probably regarded as the guarantee of a superior status in the life after death.

		'Secular' and Marxist historians in India like Romila Thapar often cite the example of the supposed persecution of Buddhists by King Shashank, the Shaivite ruler of Bengal, as a proof of their politically motivated thesis that the notion of 'Hindu tolerance is a myth.
		Also is noteworthy the fact that while Shashanka himself is said to be a Shaivite, it is another Shaivite king Bhaskaravarman of Pragjyotisha (modern Assam) who assisted Emperor Harshavardhana wholeheartedly in defeating Shashanka, according to both Bana Bhatta and Yuan Chwang.
		In recent times, the Buddhist status of the shrine has been restored, with the help of Hindus, and the place is managed by a joint committee of Hindus and Buddhists.
