Copy


Explanation:
Anukriti means a copy of something, such as an art object, document, plan or statue.

Anu = coming after
Kriti = creation

Taken together, they mean what come after, that is, something that is modelled on something preexisting, that is, a copy.

It will be written in Hindi as अनुकृति.
