Meerabai Jayanti was celebrated in honour of Meerabai Jayanti. Meerabai was a Hindu mystic poet and devotee of Krishna. She was one of the most significant Sants of the Vaishnava bhakti movement. In most of her poems, she describes her unconditional love for her Lord and promotes Krishna bhakti as the best way of life because it helps us forget our desires. Meera was born to the Rajput king Ratansingh of Kurki, Udaipur in the year 1499. On the auspicious occasion of Meerabai’s birth each year the Chittorgarh district officials along with Meera Smrithi Sansathan or the Meera Memorial Trust, organize a 3 day long Meera Mahotsav, where eminent musicians and singers take part in the maha sammelan.
