Explanation:

Great and Little traditions are terms used by Robert Redfield to describe the cultural practices of peasant societies, rituals and customs observed by the peasants that emanated from dominant social categories, including priests and rulers.

Karaikkal Ammaiyar was a female devotee of Shiva who adopted the path of extreme asceticism in order to attain her goal.

Baba Guru Nanak organised his followers into a community. He set up rules for congregational worship (sangat) involving collective recitation. He appointed one of his disciples, Angad, to succeed him as the preceptor (guru), and this practice was followed for nearly 200 years.

Guru Arjan Dev Ji compiled Baba Guru Nanak’s hymns along with those of his four successors and other religious poets like Baba Farid, Ravidas (also known as Raidas), and Kabir in the Adi Granth Sahib.
