Correct Answer: Vaishnavism


Solution : The correct answer is Vaishnavism.

The Alvars hold a special place in Sri Vaishnavism as the twelve revered devotees of Lord Vishnu. They played a crucial role in spreading Vaishnavism, particularly in Tamil-speaking areas. These devoted saints were instrumental in popularising the worship of Lord Vishnu, and their hymns and poems were instrumental in promoting the Bhagavata cult and the two Hindu epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, in the South Indian region.
