== Legend of Pravin Rai ==
Pravin Rai was a favourite courtesan of King Indrajit Singh of [[Orchha State]].<ref name=":0" /> It is said that Emperor [[Akbar]] summoned Pravin Rai to his court after hearing about her beauty and poetry. Pravin Rai reached the court and said a couplet,

''“Vinit Rai Praveen ki, suniye sah sujan. Juthi patar bhakat hain, bari, bayas, swan”''

It translated to - 'Oh you great and wise! Please hear the plea of Rai Praveen. Only someone from a low caste, barber or scavengers would eat from a plat that was partaken by someone else'.
