Solution
Alvars and Nayanars were medieval Tamil saints who led the Bhakti movement in South India. Alvars were devotees of Vishnu (Krishna), and Nayanars were devotees of Shiva. They attacked caste barriers, emphasised personal devotion, composed devotional songs in Tamil, and travelled singing and preaching; their use of the local language made devotion accessible to all.
