I will mark the answer as brainlist

Answer 1

The alvars, also spelt as alwars or azhwars were Tamil poet-saints of South India who espoused bhakti to the Hindu Supreme god Vishnu or his avatar Krishna in their songs of longing, ecstasy and service. They are venerated especially in Vaishnavism, which regards Vishnu or Krishna as the Supreme Being.
