Answers:
Mirabai (मीराबाई) (ಮೀರಾಬಾಯಿ) (1498-1547) (sometimes also spelled Meera) was a female Hindu mystical poetess whose compositions are popular throughout India.
She is said to have been a disciple of Shri Guru Ravidas. She composed between 200 to 1300 prayerful songs called bhajans.
They are in the bhakti tradition, and most passionately praised Lord Krishna. The extant version of her poems are in a Rajasthani dialect of Hindi, they are also considered to be in Gujarati.
Meera Bai was born at Merta in Nagaur District of Rajasthan in Rathore clan of Rajputs. When she was six years old, she was given a figurine of Krishna by her mother that she played, sang and always talked with. Her father's elder brother Viram Deo who succeeded to the throne arranged her marriage at the age of 16 with Prince Bhoj Raj, the eldest son of Rana Sanga of Chittor. This marriage raised Mirabai to a very high social status, as the ruler of Chittor was considered to be the leader of the Hindu princes of Rajputana. However, her great devotion to Lord Krishna did not always endear her to her husband and family. Her love of Krishna was so absorbing she neglected her social and regal responsibilities. She refused to offer worship to the family deity, Durga. She sang and danced in public temples and mingled with members of all castes. Because of this Mirabai suffered great hardship throughout her life. Her husband died a few years after her marriage and she refused to commit sati, a practice of widow self-immolation held in high regard in royal rajput families of the time
