Kanyasulkam (Telugu: కన్యాశుల్కం) is a Telugu play written by Gurazada Apparao in 1892. It is one of the earliest modern works in an Indian vernacular language and it is the first Telugu play to deal with social issues. The play portrays the practice of Kanya-sulkam (roughly translates to bride price) which was common among the priestly Brahmins in Telugu-speaking areas of southern India.
