The correct answer is option 2, Tukaram. Tukaram was considered one of the greatest Bhakti poets of Maharashtra. Bhakti is a devotional form of Hinduism that emphasizes the personal relationship between an individual and their chosen deity. Tukaram`s poetry expressed his devotion and love for Lord Vitthal, an incarnation of Lord Krishna. He composed his poems in the Marathi language, making them accessible to a wider audience. Tukaram`s work had a profound impact on the Bhakti movement in Maharashtra and continues to be revered today. While options 1, 3, and 4 are also notable Bhakti poets in Maharashtra, Tukaram is widely regarded as the greatest among them.
