This cancellation was introduced on 2015 Jan 24. Nandalike is the birthplace of Kannada poet and writer Muddana (b. January 24, 1870 - d. February 15, 1901) better known as Mahakavi (Great Poet) or Mahakavi Muddana. His name at birth was Lakshmi Naaranappa. His birthplace being Nandalike, he is sometimes also known as Nandalike Lakshminaaranappa. Muddana was a physical trainer in a High School in Udupi, but became interested in Kannada poetry. He has written epics like Adbhuta Ramayana, Sri Rama Pattabhisheka, Sri Ramashwamedham, Yakshagana Prasangas, Ratnavathee Kalyana and Kumara Vijaya. Muddana experimented with a style that was hitherto unknown to Kannada. He introduced the character of Manorame (imaginary wife of the poet) in his story. In the prose poetic work Ramashwamedha poet tells her the story of the Ashwamedha sacrifice conducted by Sri Rama. This technique of storytelling is the first of its kind in Kannada literature.

Among all the versions of the Ramayana, Muddanna's Ramashvamedha written in the late 19th century commands a place of its own because it introduces us to a literary tradition called the sallapa - a lively, cheerful conversation between the writer and his wife that veers into the actual telling of the tale. Permanent Pictorial Cancellation depicts line drawing of poet Muddana and the character of Manorame (imaginary wife of the poet) and it was introduced on 145th birthday of the Poet.
