Answer:

The Bhakti movement was an important historical religious movement in medieval Hinduism[1] that sought to bring religious reforms to all strata of society by adopting the method of devotion to achieve salvation.[2] It was prominent in eighth-century south India (now Tamil Nadu and Kerala states), and spread northwards.[1] It swept over east and north India from the 15th century onwards, reaching its zenith between the 15th and 17th century CE.[3]
