The correct option is Arun Kolatkar.

Arun Kolatkar (1932–2004) was a highly acclaimed bilingual poet from Maharashtra, India, who wrote in both Marathi and English.
His collection of poems titled Jejuri, published in 1976, is one of the most celebrated works in modern Indian English poetry.
The book won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize in 1977.

Jejuri is a sequence of 31 poems that describes a visit to the temple town of Jejuri in Maharashtra.
Through these poems, Kolatkar explores themes of faith, disillusionment, modernism, and tradition, juxtaposing the spiritual reputation of the pilgrimage site with the mundane reality of the town and its people.
