Where was Mirabai born?

Rajasthan State-GK birthplace questions test the specific village or town where a historical figure was actually born — a detail that is often different from the places associated with their later life, such as a marital court, a pilgrimage site, or a fort where they resided.

Mirabai, the celebrated Krishna-devotee and Bhakti-movement saint-poet, was born in Kurki village, located in present-day Jaitaran tehsil of Beawar district (this area was earlier reckoned under Pali district, near Merta), Rajasthan. This birth village is distinct from the royal centres she is linked to after her marriage.

None of the other named places is Mirabai's birthplace; each instead belongs to a different part of Rajasthan/Mewar history:

• Salumber is a separate historical town of Rajasthan with no recorded connection to Mirabai's life.

• Chittorgarh is the fort-capital of Mewar where Mirabai lived after her marriage into the Mewar royal family.

• Udaipur became the Mewar kingdom's capital only after Mirabai's lifetime, and is historically tied to the later Mewar dynasty rather than to her birth.

Kurki is therefore Mirabai's established birthplace.
