Ramananda Bandyopadhyay

The grace of quintessential Bengal remains ever-present in the works of Ramananda Bandyopadhyay. His intimate, private world thrived in the artistic ambience of Santiniketan under the guiding influence of Shilpacharya Nandalal Bose. Later he created his very own world of art following the course of his mentor. During his journey as an artist, he incorporated Indian Puranas in Bengals own Patachitras with much greater novelty. Shapes and forms are the essential embellishments of his works. Since the beginning of the decade of nineties, he has been making use of the medium of pastel as a live instrument. He is one of the senior most guardians of Debovasha. The abode has hosted a number of his exhibitions. Besides, Debovasha feels proud to have published his book, The Role of Sri Ramakrishna in the life of Nandalal.
