Bhanubhakta Acharya - known as the First Poet of Nepal (1814–1868)
Bhanubhakta Acharya was born in Chundi Ramgha in the district of Tanahu and was educated at home by his grandfather.
Bhanubhakta is considered the first poet writing in the Nepali language. Usually poets wrote in Sanskrit, which was not as accessible to many people. His most famous work was translating the Ramayana, (the great Hindu epic) from Sanskrit to Nepali
He wrote many poems but sad thing is most of his works are lost. The majority of the poems are written in a simple, lucid, style that is easy to understand. The most popular work is Ramayan, but some other titles are: Ayodhyakanda, Kiskindha Kanda, Sunder Kanda, Badhusikchha.
