Idol, image, statue, painting, sacrifice and religious rituals inside the Samaj building was not allowed.

Raja Ram Mohan Roy, along with Dwarkanath Tagore founded Brahmo Sabha in 1828, which later became Brahmo Samaj. It was the influential socio-religious reform movement which influenced the contemporary politics, public administration, education and religion of India. The efforts of this Sabha led the Regulation XVII, via which Lord William Bentinck abolished Sati practice in India.
