Shambhu Prasad Dhungel (Nepali: शम्भुप्रसाद ढुङ्गेल; born 1885 – 1929) was a Nepali author, playwright, and poet.
Shambhu Prasad Dhungel was born in 1885 in Kathmandu, Nepal.[1] Born into a well-to-do family, Dhungel spent his childhood years in comfort.[2] At the age of 15, he wrote Panchak Prapancha.[2] He later published books in Banaras with Punyaprasad Parkashan.[2]
He was referred to as Ashu Kavi (lit. "spontaneous poet") by Chandra Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana.[3] Dhungel mostly based his works in Sanskrit plays.[2] Dhungel wrote about fifteen plays, but only six have survived.[4]
In 1962, the Government of Nepal issued postage stamps featuring Dhungel.[5]
In 2003, D. B. Gurung said Dhungel was "a rare poetic genius".[6]
