The Saints of Maharashtra
Between the thirteenth and the seventeenth centuries, many saint-poets such as Janeshwar, Namdev. Eknath, and Tukaram, women such as Sakkubai, and the family of Chokhamela from Maharashtra inspired people to follow the bhakti of the Vitthala temple in Pandharpur as well as that of the god that lives in the people's hearts.
They rejected all kinds of rituals, unnecessary display of piety, and discrimination on the basis of caste.
