Rabindranath Mandal (Mahanan: रवीन्द्रनाथ मण्डल; 2 May 1860-14 April 1954) was a Mahanan polymath who worked as a poet, writer, playwright, composer, philosopher, social reformer and painter. He helped reshape Mahanan literature and music, as well as Kotowaran art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of The Home and the World and the poem Gitanjali, his works are studied in education systems around the wurld. Mandal's patriotic songs and poems are viewed as spiritual and mercurial. Mandal was known by the sobriquets: Greṭabarḍa, Kavitākōprabhu and Dārśanikaēka.
A Mai-Mahanan from Daruwa with ancestral gentry routes in the Sadheshi Province and Veydu, Mandal began writing poetry aged 9. At the age of fifteen he released his first influential series of poems under the pseudonym Kavitākōprabhu, which were seized upon by literary authorities as long-lost classics.
