Legacy
The exploits of Chaitanya and Nityananda have had deep religious and cultural implications in Bengal. They are credited with the revival of Hinduism in Eastern India, plagued mainly by the caste system, which they denounced.

Even in secular literature, their brotherly love towards each other has been celebrated.
