Kurki

Kurki, also called Kudki, is remembered as the birthplace of Mirabai, the Rajput poet and devotee of Krishna. Born into a Rathore family near the end of the fifteenth century, she grew up at Merta and later married into the ruling house of Mewar. Songs attributed to her express a passionate devotion to Krishna and became part of a broad tradition of bhakti poetry. Her memory links this small settlement to religious communities far beyond Rajasthan.
