Bhanubhakta Acharya (Nepali: भानुभक्त आचार्य; 1814–1868), a Nepalese poet and writer who translated the great epic Ramayana from Sanskrit to Khas language, was born to a very Brahmin family in Chundi Ramgha in Tanahun on 29 Ashar, 1871 B.S. He received education with a strong leaning towards religion from his grandfather at home. He is honored with the title Adikabi for the contributions he has made in the field of poetry and Khasi literature, and every year his birthday (29th of Ashad) is celebrated as a festival of Bhanujayanti by conducting various programs, usually academics and poem recitation.
