What is the difference between
Ashram, Math, Akhada, Adhiham, Pitham?
May be there are other terms interesting to know.
Thanks

Inspired by Viraja I also try again to get an answer to my question on Hindu heritage. I am interested in these terms which I find in any mix on the web.
Sivananda Yoga Vidya Peetham is an ashram.
The Shakti Peethas are places of worship.
He started an important math (monastery, referred to as adheehams in South India)
The four main Shankaracharya Mathas/Peethas
What does a guru teach in an Akhada – wresting in the West is sport, but in India it may be a spiritual exercise, similar to Kung Fu in Shaolin.
In the Guru Jasram Akhada 40 wrestlers live with Guru Jasram in the Akhada.
Thanks again ...
