Early life
Early life
Bhushan originally resided in the Tikwapur village in present-day Ghatampur tehsil, Kanpur district of Uttar Pradesh in a Brahmin Family. He was the brother of the poets Chintamani and Matiram. Bhushan's original name is unknown. Kavi Bhushan ("Precious Poet") was a title given to him by the Rudra Pratap of Chitrakoot. He first met Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj when the latter visited Agra to meet the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb; thereafter, Bhushan was supported by Shivaji I. Bhushan later moved from Varanasi to Maratha Kingdom in the 1670s, and attended Shivaji's durbar (court)
