Bhanubhakta Acharya

Bhanubhakta Acharya was born in 1814 in Chundi Ramgha, in the Tanahun district, into a Brahmin family. Raised by his grandfather, a learned man who taught him Sanskrit, he was driven to write by the example of a grass-cutter who wanted to leave a useful mark on his village. Wrongly accused in a money matter, he was imprisoned at Kumarichowk and obtained his release through a petition in verse. He died in 1868, and his texts were published only after his death. Nepal regards him as its first poet and celebrates him every year in July.
