The correct answer is option 1, Tamil Nadu. The Alwar saints, also known as the Alvars, were a group of 12 Vaishnava poet-saints from South India. They originated from the state of Tamil Nadu. These saints were highly revered for their devotional hymns and poetry dedicated to Lord Vishnu. They played a significant role in the Bhakti movement and were instrumental in spreading the teachings of Vaishnavism in South India. Their compositions, known as the Divya Prabandham, were in the Tamil language and are considered sacred scriptures in the Vaishnava tradition. While options 2, 3, and 4 are all states in India, they are not the correct answer for the origin of the Alwar saints.
