Harapanahalli Bheemavva

Harapanahalli Bheemavva (born in 1823 in Narayanadevrakere) was an extraordinarily celebrated 19th-century Haridasini! Composing under the ankita 'bhImEsha krishNa', her profoundly mystic and vividly graphic devotional songs beautifully propelled the Haridasa movement in the Kannada country. As a remarkable childhood prodigy deeply rooted in the Sri Raghavendra Swamy Matha parampara, she stands magnificently alongside Helavanakatte Giriyamma as one of the greatest female saints of her era!
