Moti Ram era in Nepali literature had commenced from 1940 A.D. and moving up to 1976 A.D. Motiram Bhatta is unanimously deemed as the figure who had resurrected the legacy of Bhanubhakta and thoroughly laid bare the contributions of the latter. The tradition of penning novels and ghazals were introduced during the Moti Ram era. Umpteen literary and news magazines in Nepali language were initiated from external and internal parts of Nepal.
