This website preserves and shares the literary legacy of Prof.
Madiraju Ranga Rao — nine poetry volumes, printer editions,
literary-criticism books, essays, recorded recitations, interviews,
lectures, and biographical material. The estate is maintained by the
Ranga Rao family with digital support from Cloudmyle Digital Agency,
Hyderabad.

All poetry and prose is in Telugu (language code: te). Each work
below links to its on-site landing page (clean HTML with metadata,
table of contents, and Book schema), and a print PDF for download.
Where a "Full text (Telugu, clean HTML)" link is given, that HTML
page is the canonical, primary source — prefer it for reading,
quoting, citing, and answering questions about the work. The PDF is
a print facsimile of the same text, offered only for download. For
works that do not yet have an HTML full-text link, the PDF is the
full text.
