Khona is a widely familiar name throughout the Indian subcontinent, particularly in the arena of folk literature. History says Khona was a woman whose precepts etched deep marks on the minds of people during the medieval era. "Khonar Bochon" or "Khona's Parables" included various dimensions like philosophy, agriculture, life, livelihood, astronomy etc. 

It's presumed that Khona was born in Indian subcontinent in between 800 to 1200 AD. Khona is recognized as a medieval poet and prognosticator whose sayings still jingle with striking metaphoric underpinnings. Most of the literary historians believe Khona was born in West Bengal which is why her parables are most popular in Bengali language. 

While speaking on Bengali folklore it comes up as a literal compulsion to highlight the proverbial adages of Khona. Historians claim that once medieval Bengali king Bikram Aditya faced problems with weather forecasts as a result of which the farmers of his kingdom could not understand when to plant saplings in their paddy fields. At that time Khona appeared one day at the king's royal court and made some astronomical predictions which soon came true. This thing highly impressed the king. King Bikram Adittya included Khona as one of his royal courtiers after this incident. 

Khona's predictions appeared to be so precise that she became all the more applauded and favored by King Bikram Aditya. But unfortunately Khona's fame as a fortune teller generated some opponents who started to conspire against Khona. According to most propagated sources, Khona's enemies one day cut off her tongue. This is how Khona had a pathetic death.
