Meera Bai Temple




Also known as Charbhuja temple, Meera Bai Temple is situated in Nagaur District of Rajasthan. This 400-year-old temple is dedicated to Meera Bai, the legendry poetess who dedicated her whole life worshiping Lord Krishna and spreading her message all over India. The cenotaph (chhatri) of Meera Bai's Guru Shri Rai Das of Banaras is situated in front of the temple. A figure of five human bodies with one head is carved inside the cenotaph. It conveys the message that all castes are equal and even outcasts can attain God.
