Padmavati medieval Bangla romantic poem adapted by alaol, poet laureate of the royal court of Arakan, from the original Hindi poem Padumavat in 1652 at the behest of Prime Minister Magan Thakur.



The poem blends folklore and history. It narrates how Raja Ratnasen of Chitor marries Padmavati, a Sri Lankan princess, who is also desired by Alauddin Khilji, Sultan of Delhi, who leads a futile military invasion to win her. The original Hindi poem has a touch of mysticism and sufism, but the Bangla version is a poem of secular human love. [Wakil Ahmed]
