Question

origin of bhakti movement

Answer 1

Answer:

The Bhakti movement refers to the theistic devotional trend that emerged in medieval Hinduism[1] and later acted as the de facto catalyst to the formation and subsequent revolutionization in the form of Sikhism.[2] It originated in eighth-century south India (now Tamil Nadu and Kerala), 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]
