Abstract Considered to be one of the literary stalwarts of the Jonaki era, the age of Romanticism, Bezbaruah gave a new impetus to Assamese literature. Bezbaruah was able to establish himself as a renowned literary figure through “Jonaki kakot”, which in fact begins the period of Modern Assamese literarure. Lakshminath Bezbaruah devoted himself to revive the lost glory of the Assamese language and literature where love for one’s own land always plays a dominant role in his works. Born towards the end of the 19th century, Bezbaruah established himself as a poet and novelist at the beginning of the 20th century. He excelled in all branches of literature including poetry, short story, novels, essays, satires, and occupies a unique place in the history of Assamese literature. Kadam Kali (Kadam Buds) and Padum Kali (Lotus Buds) are his poetry collections. Kadam Kali contains fourty eight poems whereas twenty-seven poems were published in the volume Padum Kali.
