"Gitanjali" is a collection of poems written by the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. First published in Bengali in 1910, it was later translated into English in 1912. The title translates to "Song Offerings," reflecting the spiritual and devotional themes present throughout the work. Tagore's poetry explores the relationship between the individual and the divine, emphasizing love, nature, and the quest for truth.
In 1913, Rabindranath Tagore became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, largely due to the impact of "Gitanjali." The collection is celebrated for its lyrical beauty and profound insights, making it a significant contribution to world literature and a cornerstone of Indian poetry.
