Detailed explanation-1: -Scholars believe that this sect, which spread across Maharashtra in the thirteenth century A. D., may have started in the sixth century A. D. Dnyanadeo is said to have laid the cornerstone for this sect, according to the sect’s history.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dnyaneshwar’s religious principles diverged greatly from those of Mahanubhava. His worldview was based on the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita, later Vedic works, and devotion to Vitthala served as the foundation of the egalitarian Varkari sect, which Dnyaneshwar created.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is geographically associated with Maharashtra. Varkaris worship Vithoba (also known as Vitthal), the presiding deity of Pandharpur. Vithoba is a form of Krishna, an avatar (incarnation) of Vishnu. Because of this association with Vishnu, Varkari is a branch of Vaishnavism.
