Question:

In which court was Bihari Lal working when he composed "Bihari Satsai"?

Options:

Udaipur

Jaipur

Mewar

Pahari

Correct Answer:

Jaipur

Explanation:

Answer: Jaipur
Bihari Lal composed "Bihari Satsai" while working at the court of Jaipur.

Bihari Satsai, authored by Bihari Lal, constituting 700 verses (satsai), is composed in the form of aphorisms and moralising witticism. It is largely held that he composed the Satsai around 1662 while he was at the court of Jaipur working for Mirza Raja Jai singh as the patron’s name appears in several verses of the Satsai. The Satsai has been largely painted at Mewar and less frequently in the Pahari School.
