काव्यालय में आपका स्वागत
If you can read the above welcome message in Hindi, then your computer is ready
for Kaavyaalaya. Enjoy.
If not, please follow the instructions given below
to install support for Hindi. Normally Windows includes support for Hindi but
it may need to be installed which is quite easy and should take only a few
seconds. In the case of Unix/Linux, it may be slightly more complicated.
If support for Hindi is not installed on your computer, you can read only those
poems on Kaavyaalaya which are in the image files, by clicking on the 
symbol against some of the poems in the list.
Kaavyaalaya now maintains its Hindi text in Unicode, instead of using the
Shusha font. Why have we switched to Unicode.
Installing support for Hindi on your computer
Note: You must have IE (version 5.5 or above), or Netscape (version 4 or above)
or latest versions of any of the other browsers like Opera, Mozilla etc. which
support unicode.
