The influential Indian poet Chandidas, a Brahmin priest in the temple of the goddess Basuli, falls in love with, but never marries, a washerwoman of legendary beauty.
His love lyrics include the impressive and tender Srikrishna Kirtan (”Songs in praise of Krishna”).
His “kirtaus” (folksongs) are widely read and recited before and after his death at around sixty in about 1477.
