Janabai
Indian poet and saint

Sant Janabai was a 13th-14th century Marathi poet and saint in the Hindu tradition, born in Gangakhed, Maharashtra. Raised under the caste system in the Matang community, she served in the household of Sant Namdev in Pandharpur, a major religious center. Deeply devoted to Lord Vitthal, Janabai composed around 300 devotional abhang poems despite no formal education. Revered alongside saints like Dnyaneshwar and Tukaram, she holds an honored place among the warkari sect of Maharashtra and is commonly titled Sant Janabai.
