When people Worship as ordained by Vedas, simultaneously they also worshipped in the local language,mother tongue.

The Bhakti Bhava is more compatible with one's mother tongue.

Hence many Saints practicing Bhakti Yoga,left behind their experiences of Godhood in Local languages.

These remain at the regional level and are practiced even today.

Thus we have Bengal ,Assam,Odisha following the Bhakti Bhava practices from Bengali and Oriya primarily in the East,North East of India.

In the West Marathi Bhava is in place.

Melkote Western Fortress of Vaishnavism

This temple was the abode of Sri Ramanujacharya,who espoused the Qualified Non Dualism, Visishta Advaitha,Visishtadvaida,.

He had to flee from the Chola kingdom, Sri Rangam due to persecution from the king and some Vaishnavas and Shaivas.

One may add here that there no mention of Shaivas and Vaishnavas in the Vedas, and as such, in my opinion,the difference between them, to say the least,is not what Vedas say.
