Etymology

According to some legends Mushaira originated in the 14th century in Deccan during the Bahmani Sultanate, and was introduced in Delhi by Wali Deccani in 1700 AD, where upon his arrival he recited a collection of his poems in a vernacular Deccani language—(a form of Urdu) in front of a large public gathering, until then in Delhi they were no poetic public gatherings for locals, where as poetic gatherings use to commence in elite courts in which participating poets use to recite there poems only in Persian.[2][3]
