Priyakant Maniyar, school drop-out — hailed from the town of Amreli in Saurashtra, but was born in Viramgam, also in Saurashtra. In Ahmedabad, he ran a shop selling ivory bangles. Tragically, he died of a heart attack while shuttering his shop.

He authored seven volumes of poems; two were published post-humous. He also received an award of the Delhi Sahitya Akademi. Priyakant also wrote numerous songs.
