About Merta
Merta city is a small town in the Nagaur district of Rajasthan, and while it may not be as famous as Jodhpur, Jaipur, or Udaipur.

She was the poetic saint whose devotional songs dedicated to Lord Krishan are still sung and cherished across the country and the world.
Merta honours her memory through the Meerabai Temple, which stands as the most important landmark in the town. The temple is built at the site where Mirabai is believed to have spent her childhood years and first experienced her deep connections with Lord Krishna. Various devotees and admirers of Mirabai’s poetry visit this temple every year, especially on auspicious occasions and her birth and death anniversaries.
