Sant Nirmala

Sant Nirmala was a 14th-century poet from 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 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.
