In 1903, the British Viceroy Lord Curzon held a durbar in Delhi to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII. Kesrisingh Barhath composed Vaavni Ra Chungtya. It is a collection of 13 couplets in which Mewar Maharana Fateh Singh was urged not to attend the Delhi Darbar. He wrote about the tradition of the Maharana’s noble ancestors who never became a part of the Mughal Empire (Darbar). The throne of Mewar had importance and respect in the eyes of Indians. Impressed by the verses, Maharana returned from Delhi without attending the Mewar court. The entire life of revolutionary Kesari Singh Barhath was dedicated to the Indian national movement.
