Mirabai, also known as Sant Meerabai, was a 16th-century Hindu mystic poet and devotee of Krishna. She is celebrated as a Bhakti saint in the North Indian Hindu tradition. By around 1600, she had gained widespread recognition in the Bhakti movement due to her fearless disregard for social norms and her deep devotion to Krishna. Mirabai faced persecution from her in-laws for her religious beliefs. Her devotional hymns in praise of Krishna, known as bhajans, have become famous across India. Mirabai’s life has inspired various artistic interpretations in movies, films, and literature.
