Chittadhar Hridaya (Nepali: चित्तधर हृदय; born Chittadhar Tuladhar; 19 May 1906 – 9 June 1982) was a Nepalese poet. He is regarded as one of the greatest literary figures from Nepal in the 20th century.[1]
The title of Kavi Keshari (Lion among Poets) was conferred on him by King Mahendra of Nepal in 1956.[2] He wrote primarily in Nepal Bhasa but has created works in Nepali and Hindi too.
Hridaya dedicated his life to serving his mother tongue, rejecting a flourishing ancestral business and suffering imprisonment by an autocratic government. In 1941, he was jailed for five years by the Rana regime for writing a poem in Nepal Bhasa in a crackdown against the language.
