Poetic style

He is considered one of the four pillars (Stambh) of Chhayavad in Hindi Literature along with Sumitranandan Pant, Mahadevi Verma Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala'. His style of poetry can at best be described as touching (maarmic). Art and philosophy has been exquisitely amalgamated in his writings. He used mainly Tatsam and Tatdbhav words - some of them made really exquisitely by himself.

The subject of his poetry spans the entire horizon of subjects of his era, from romantic to nationalistic. He in a way signifies the epitome of classical Hindi poetry. One of his patriotic poems, 'Himadri Tung Shring Se', won him many accolades in the era of Indian independence movement. However, Kamayani undoubtedly remains his best creation.
