Coach Pāṇini ®Medieval Courtesans
#Devadasis were from South India and tawaifs were associated with the North. #Tawaifs were #courtesans attached to royal courts.
Devadasis were traditionally associated with temples, though some also performed in courtly settings. “Devadasi" literally means "servant of god" in #Sanskrit. “Tawaif" comes from an Awadhi term for courtesans.
