Encyclopedia > Braj Bhasha

Braj Bhasha is language spoken in India by more than 42,000 people. It is spoken in the undefined region of Braj Bhoomi which was a political state in the era of the Mahabharata wars. This knowledge is obtained through ancient Hindu texts such as the Shrimad Bhagvatam, which describes the kingdom of King Kans, spreading through the Braj (also known as Vrij or Vraj), where the incarnation of God Krishna was born and spent his childhood days. This region lies in the Agra-Mathura region and stretches to the Delhi area. In modern India, this area lies mostly in North-Western Uttar Pradesh, the Eastern extremities of Rajasthan and Sothern extremities of Haryana.
