<span style="color: #222222;">Today is the birth anniversary of renowned Nepali poet Bhanubhakta Acharya. He was born on 13 July 1814 in the village of Chundi Ramgha, Tanahun District, Nepal to Dhananjaya Acharya, and Dharmawati Acharya. Widely regarded as the first writer in the Nepali language, Bhanubhakta translated the great epic Ramayana from Sanskrit to Nepali for the first time. He did not receive any western education nor was familiar with foreign literature which kept his work and experiential journey original to the vernacular literary system and brought strong Nepali flavor to his works. The key features of his writings were simple yet strong with a sense of religion, a sense of simplicity, and the warmth of his country that not many other poets had been able to be compared.</span><br />
