Chhayavad is a significant literary movement in Hindi poetry that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily during the 1920s and 1930s. It is characterized by its emphasis on romanticism, emotional expression, and a deep connection with nature. Poets associated with this movement often explored themes of love, beauty, and the human experience, drawing inspiration from both Indian and Western literary traditions. Key figures of Chhayavad include renowned poets like Jaishankar Prasad, Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala', and Premchand. Their works reflect a shift from traditional forms of poetry to more modern expressions, incorporating free verse and innovative imagery. This movement played a crucial role in shaping modern Hindi literature and continues to influence poets today.
