Karmabai

Karmabai (Hindi:कर्माबाई) (1615 - 1634) was a famous Jat woman popularly known as Bhakt Shiromani Karmabai. She was born on 20 January 1615 in the family of Jiwanji Dudi in the village Kalwa situated in Nagaur district. She was a strong devotee of Lord Krishna. It is common belief that she had offered 'khichada' to Lord Krishna in his presence. A folk song tells like this -

Thali bhar'r lyayi khichado upar ghee ki batki !

Jeemo mhara syam dhani jeemavai beti Jat ki !!

Karmabai took a living samadhi on 25 July 1634.
