Bhakti movement saints MCQ — 2 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

Dhanna, also remembered as Dhanna Bhagat, is traditionally placed among the Bhakti saints associated with Ramanand's devotional stream. The official key identifies Ramanand as his guru, which matches the common exam tradition. Kabir is another major Bhakti saint and is often counted among Ramanand's disciples, but he is not Dhanna's guru in this question. Pipa was also linked with the Ramanandi tradition, yet he is not the expected answer here. Dadu Dayal belongs to a later devotional tradition in Rajasthan.

Explanation

Dadu Dayal, the 16th-century Bhakti saint associated with the Dadu Panth, is traditionally accepted to have been born at Ahmedabad. His later spiritual work is closely linked with Rajasthan, especially areas around Sambhar and Naraina, but the birthplace asked here is Ahmedabad. Nagaur, Bikaner and Kota are important places in Rajasthan's history and culture, yet they are not accepted as Dadu Dayal's birthplace in the standard account used for this question.
