      Decent attempt, some improvements could be made.
      Introduction is fine, flowchart is also okay.. It would be good if you could make an India map and demarcate the saints according to the region.
      Features are good, some could be added- for example, role of woman saints such as Mirabai, attempt to bridge the communal divide between Hindus and Muslims( role of Guru Nanak and Kabir), various schools of philosophy that prospered such as Advait, Vishistadvait, dvaitadvait etc under various saints.
      In next part, development of various local dialects such as Awadhi, Braj etc could be mentioned along with some of the important works of the era.. (Tulsidas).. Other broad points are fine.
      Try to keep the presentation more neat and clean.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Decent attempt, introduction is fine. Good use of map.
      Features are also fine, role in promoting Hindu-Muslim harmony especially by Saints like Guru Nanak and Kabir could be elaborated upon a bit. Also, their stand against social evils prevalent at that time could be mentioned. Development of various schools of philosophy under saints like Aadishankaracharya, Ramanuja, Vallabhacharya etc could be mentioned. Role of the guru was also an important aspect of the movement.

      Fine attempt.
      Introduction is good.
      Features are also fine. Role in promoting Hindu-Muslim harmony especially by Saints like Guru Nanak and Kabir could be added. It was divided in two sections in South India in early period, later it came to be divided into saguna bhakti and nirgun bhakti, you can mention that. Further development of various philosophical schools under saints like Aadishankaracharya, Ramanuja, Vallabhacharya etc could be mentioned.
      In second part, under first point you could give some examples of local dialects such as Awadhi, Braj etc
      Contributions of Tulsidas could be mentioned. Other points are good.
      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Hello

      Decent attempt.
      Introduction is fine.
      Features are also okay but you have not mentioned what it was for, you have mentioned what it was against.
      You could add a point about it believed in single minded devotion to God and emphasized upon the role of Guru. Further various sub-divisions among Bhakti saints could also be mentioned- Nayanars/Alvars; Sagun/Nirgun; various philosophical schools under saints like Aadishankaracharya, Ramanuja, Vallabhacharya etc
      You could also draw a rough map of India and show the influence of various saints in various regions.
      Next part is fine. Development of local dialects like Awadhi, contributions of Tulsidas could be added, further some of the works from South India could also be mentioned.
      Conclusion is good.
      Keep practicing. 🙂
