Answer

The Saints of Maharashtra:

From the thirteenth to the seventeenth centuries a great number of saint-poets were bom in Maharashtra.
Their songs in simple Marathi continued to inspire people.
The most important among them were Janeshwar, Namdev, Eknath and Tukaram, Sakkubai and the family of Chokhamela.
They belonged to the 'untouchable' Mahar caste.
This regional tradition of Bhakti focused on the Vitthala temple in Pandharpur, as well as on the notion of a personal God residing in the hearts of all people.
