music.wikisort.org - PoetSant Nirmala (Marathi: संत निर्मळा) was a poet in 14th-century Maharashtra, India. As the younger sister of Chokhamela, she was deemed equally holy with her brother and thus is also deemed a Hindu saint.[1] Nirmala was married to Banka, of the Untouchable Mahar caste.[2] Her writings consist largely of abhangs that describe the injustice and inequalities she suffered as a result of the caste system.[3]
Nirmala regretted worldly married life and reveled in the god of Pandharpur. She never mentions her husband, Banka, in her poems.[4]
