Question:

Rai Parbin was a celebrated courtesan of which place as mentioned in Kavipriya?

Options:

Dwarka

Orchha

Mewar

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Orchha

Explanation:

Kavipriya, another poetic work by Keshav Das, was written in the honour of Rai Parbin, a celebrated courtesan of Orchha. It is a tale of love and its tenth chapter evocatively titled Baramasa engages with the most enduring climactic description of the 12 months of the year. While illustrating the daily life of people in different seasons and alluding to festivals falling therein, Keshav Das describes how the nayika prevails upon the nayaka not to leave her and proceed on a journey.
