    The research paper attempts to achieve stylistic analysis of Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali which is a world famous Indian classical text. The text includes the collection of 103 poems selected and translated by Tagore himself from his various Bengali books of poetry. The reason for analyzing this particular text is that this is one of the texts for which the poet Rabindranath Tagore received Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. Further, this text being one of the classical texts of India needs to be analyzed linguistically. Therefore, the text gets analyzed at various levels of stylistic analysis namely phonological, lexical and morphological, syntactic, semantic and graphological. The each level of analysis explores different stylistic devices as employed in the poems through which the poet conveys the meaning of the poem more effectively to the readers. The identification and analysis of stylistic devices help us understand the literal and figurative meanings of the poems. The use of several stylistic devices like alliteration, assonance, consonance, parallelism, reduplication, simile, personification, capitalization etc. at various levels of stylistic analysis have significantly contributed to the expressions of spiritual meanings as well as to the poetic structures of the text. Keywords: Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali, Style, Stylistics, Stylistic Analysis.
