The title “Geetikavi”, meaning “lyrical poet”, is lovingly bestowed upon Parvati Prasad Barua, one of the most revered literary figures in Assam. He is renowned for his soul-touching lyrics and romantic poetry that brought a lyrical revolution in Assamese music and literature.
Born in 1904 in Sibsagar, Assam, Parvati Prasad Barua’s contributions went far beyond poetry. He was also a dramatist, music composer, and filmmaker. But it was his ability to blend emotions, melody, and poetic depth that earned him the title of Geetikavi — the poet of songs.
