Meera Bai...

Princess, Poetess, Classical vocalist of the 16th century. The girl who said no to 'Sati' saying her husband 'Lord Krishna' has not died.  In fancy dress competitions when little girls come dressed like Meera, I have always looked at them with utmost fascination. She is so simple and I love all portraits showing 'Meera with the thambura'. Whenever I read some articles on 'Andal' or 'Meera Bai', I start wondering how come they could spend their entire lifetime on love and devotion for a single person. This picture I saw it in flickr. It has some beautiful color shades and Meera looks so damn lovely. A statue of Meera Bai, it's been there for a long time in my mind. Will buy one soon!
