The Indian govt. celebrated 125𝑡ℎ anniversary of the great Mathematician of Indian soil Srinivasa Ramanujan on 22 December in the year 2012. Without any formal education and extreme poverty conditions, he emerged as one of great mathematician of India. His mathematical ideas transformed and reshaped 20th century mathematics and their ideas are inspiration for 21𝑠𝑡 century mathematicians.
Srinivasa Ramanujan made substantial contributions to the analytical theory of numbers and worked on ‘elliptic functions’, ‘continued fractions’, and ‘infinite series’. He was a great Mathematician, who became world famous at the tender age of twenty-six. He was born into a family that had a humble background and that had no distinguished professional achievement, yet his mathematical ideas transformed and reshaped century mathematics and continues to inspire modern day mathematicians. 
Considered to be a mathematical genius, Srinivasa Ramanujan, was regarded at par with the likes of Leonhard Euler and Carl Jacobi. In spite of having almost no formal training in mathematics, Ramanujan’s knowledge of mathematics was astonishing. Even though he had no knowledge of the modern developments in the subject, he effortlessly worked out the Riemann series, the elliptic integrals, hypergeometric series, and the functional equations of the zeta function. The purpose of this paper is to introduce some of the contributions of Srinivasa Ramanujan in the field of mathematics.
