Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
From the 13th to the 17th centuries, several holy poets influenced the people of Maharashtra. These spiritual poets conveyed their ideas in Marathi, which was simple for ordinary people to understand. Namdev, Eknath, Jnaneshwar, and Tukaram were some of the most notable saints during this period. Sakhubai is a saint from the inaccessible "Mahar" caste. Many saints from this region have assembled at Pandharpur temple to worship Lord Vitthal (a form of Lord Vishnu). They also believed that God lived in people's hearts. Maharashtra's saints rejected ritualism and the caste system. They didn't even think that to be saved, one must give up the world. They believe that even living together can lead to salvation.
