Explanation:

Pilgrimage was not the principle of the Bhakti Movement of 16th century.
The Bhakti Movement refers to the theistic devotional trend that emerged in medieval Hinduism and later revolutionized in Sikhism. It originated in the seventh-century Tamil south India (now parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala), and spread northwards.
The main principles of Bhakti movement were:
(1) God is one,
(2) To worship God man should serve humanity,
(3) All men are equal,
(4) Worshipping God with devotion is better than performing religious ceremonies and going on pilgrimages, and
(5) Caste distinctions and superstitious practices are to be given up.
