The bhakti movement was a devotional trend that emerged in medieval India, emphasizing personal devotion to a deity as a means of achieving spiritual liberation. It fostered inclusivity and challenged rigid caste structures, allowing individuals to seek a direct connection with the divine through love and devotion.
