Correct Answer - Option 3 : Both 1 and 2

The correct answer is both 1 and 2.

  • At a different level, historians of religion classified bhakti traditions into two broad categories:
    • Saguna (with attributes):
      • The Saguna included traditions focused on the worship of specific deities such as Shiva, Vishnu, and his avatars (incarnations). Hence statement 1 is correct.
      • Forms of the goddess or Devi, all often conceptualized in anthropomorphic forms. Hence statement 2 is correct.
    • Nirguna (without attributes):
      • Nirguna bhakti on the other hand was the worship of an abstract form of god.
