The town is most famed as having housed Gersengas at many points during his life; born and raised there, he left the town for the city of Isana at age 24; 23 years later, at the age of 47 and after his retirement from the Risevan Assembly, he returned to the town where he would live out the rest of his years in a house a short distance away. The poet wrote most of his poetic works in Isana, but turned instead to essays upon returning to Kairsan; for this the scenery around Kairsan is sometimes called "the most described land of Risevne", given the content of the essays which largely focused on the natural beauty of the region.
Many memorials to the writer exist, and Gersengas' residence on the outskirts of the city is presently home to the Garsangas Museum. At the same time, the Garsangas Institute is a research institute meant to promote knowledge of, and research into, the works of Garsangas as well as his contemporaries.
