Mirabai is somewhat rebellious and her religious beliefs do not fit the established mold of the Rajput princess and widow. He spent much time hosting sadhus (saints) and pilgrims from all over India at his private temple for Krishna and writing devotional songs. His poems mention at least two trials in his life.
