Explanation:

The significance attributed to ethics and principles over assertions of superiority based on birth, along with the stress on metta (empathy) and karuna (compassion) particularly towards those who were less privileged or vulnerable, were concepts that attracted both men and women to the teachings of Buddhism.

Bhakti is the term used to describe the bond between a devotee and a god, often visualized as one of love and devotion.

Itinerant storytellers carry scrolls, known as "charanachitras," made from cloth or paper, embellished with pictures. These storytellers use these visual aids to narrate stories, pointing at the pictures as they unfold the tale.
