Tukaram biography of william hill

Little is known of the life of Tukaram, who was born in 1608 in the village of Dehu on the banks of the river Indrayani into a low-caste Sudra family.

He is a form of the Hindu deity Vishnu in his avatar: Krishna. Vithoba is often depicted as a dark young boy, standing arms akimbo on a brick, sometimes accompanied by his consort Rakhumai.
