    4. What were the main features of bhakti?

    Solution 4:

    The main features of Bhakti were as follows:

    1. Bhakti became a central feature of Hinduism.


    2. Deities were worshipped through bhakti
    3. Bhakti is generally understood as a person’s devotion to their chosen deity
    4. Anybody, whether rich or poor, belonging to the so-called ‘high’ or ‘low’ castes, man or woman,
    could follow the path of bhakti.
    5. This path emphasised devotion and individual worship of a god or goddess rather than the
    performance of elaborate sacrifices.
    6. As per this system, if a devotee worships the chosen deity with a pure heart, the deity will appear
    in the form in which they may desire. So, the deity could be thought of as a human being, lion,
    tree or any other form. Once this idea gained acceptance, artists made beautiful images of these
    deities.
