Meera Temple (Chittorgarh)

India / Rajasthan / Chittaurgarh / Chittorgarh / Chittorgarh Fort
It is dedicated to Meera Bai, a mystic poetess and great devotee of Lord Krishna. She was born in Kurki village near Merta to Ratan Singh Rathore and was married to Bhojraj, son of Rana Sanga of Mewar. In front of the temple is the cenotaph (Chhatri) of Shri Rai Das of Banaras, the 'Guru' of Meera Bai. Within the cenotaph is a carved figure of five human bodied with one head. The figure conveys that all castes are equal and even outcastes can attain God. Rana Khumba built it in an ornate Indo–Aryan architectural style. The popular legend associated with her is that with blessings of Krishna, she survived after consuming poison sent to her by her evil brother-in-law.
