Kā Kā BHUshunDi (Sanskrit: काकभुशुण्डि, romanized: Kākabhuśuṇḍi), after being cursed to be a crow, but originally just BHUshunDi, is a sage featured in Hindu literature. He is one of the characters of the Rāmacaritamānasa, an Awadhi poem about the deity Rama by the saint Tulsidas. He is also known as Kaaga Pujandar (Kaaga=Crow) in Tamil culture.
Kakabhushundi is depicted as a devotee of Rama, who narrates the story of the Ramayana to Garuda in the form of a crow.[1]
