Answer:

Pandharpur

Explanation:

• Sant Dnyaneshwar established the Sant tradition in Maharashtra. This tradition was carried on by Sant Namdeo. These Sants came from various social classes. The Sant tradition included people from all social classes. The Sant movement was centred in Pandharpur. Vitthal was the centre of their devotion. Through bhajans, keertans, and unity meals, they promoted equality (kala).
• Varkari is a religious organisation (sampradaya). Geographically, it is linked to Maharashtra and northern Karnataka. Vari means 'pilgrimage' in Marathi, and a pilgrim is known as a varkari. Varkari walks hundreds of miles every year to the holy town of Pandharpur. On ekadashi, they congregate there. Varkaris revere Vithoba (also known as Vitthal).
• Blind beliefs and rituals had a large influence on Maharashtra society. The common people's situation was bleak. In such circumstances, the Maharashtra Sants inspired people to abandon their blind beliefs and rituals. People were taught about equality by Varkari sants. They educated humanity. They preached that people should live in harmony, unity, and love with one another. Their efforts resulted in social change.
• They taught people how to live in the face of foreign invasions, droughts, and other natural disasters. People found their teachings to be extremely beneficial. Maharashtra's people gained confidence as a result of their efforts. They demonstrated the true meaning of religion. They exemplified the devotional path by living among people and sharing their joys and sorrows.

Thus the correct answer is option d.
