Bhanubhakta Acharya (1814-1868) is a celebrated Nepalese poet, revered as the "Adikavi" (Pioneer Poet) of Nepal. Born in Chundi Ramgha, Tanahun, he holds a distinguished place in Nepalese literature primarily for translating the ancient Indian epic "Ramayana" from Sanskrit into Nepali, making it accessible to the common people.
Bhanubhakta's translation of the "Ramayana" is notable for its simplicity and adherence to the rhythm and structure of the original text, yet it reflects the cultural and social ethos of Nepal. This work is credited with standardizing the Nepali language and contributing to its literary development.
His poetry often centered on themes of patriotism, nature, and spirituality, reflecting his deep connection with his homeland and his devotion to Hindu religious values. Besides the "Ramayana," his other notable works include various poems and letters that emphasize moral values and social reforms.
Bhanubhakta's legacy endures in Nepalese culture; his birthday, Bhanubhakta Jayanti, is celebrated as a literary festival in Nepal, recognizing his contributions to the Nepali language and literature.
