Gitanjali (or Song Offerings) is a collection of 103 English poems. The poet Tagore received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 primarily for this work. It is the best representative of his ideas and artistic style. Tagore offers respectfully song of life to the deities, expresses a largely metaphysical outlook, and talks about a union with the "supreme". With a light tone, he depicts the life and death, happiness and sorrows in reality, and expresses his solicitude for the future of his nation and its people. The innocent children by the sea, girls in the countryside, and workers at the ferry in his poems reveal the ordinary but great life of the Indians.

《吉檀迦利》由103首诗歌组成，"亚洲第一诗人"泰戈尔主要凭借此诗集于1913年荣获诺贝尔文学奖，同时这也是最能代表他思想观念和艺术风格的一部作品。风格清新自然，带着泥土的芬芳。泰戈尔向神敬献的歌是"生命之歌"，他以轻快、欢畅的笔调歌唱生命的枯荣、现实生活的欢乐和悲哀，表达了作者对祖国前途和人民生活的关怀。他笔下海边天真嬉戏的儿童，田间行走的少女和渡口吹笛的工人都是印度人民平凡而伟大的生活写照。
