    Benodebehari Mukherjee was born on the 7th of February 1904 in Behala, a suburb of Calcutta. An early childhood illness left him with an impairedeyesight, preventing him from pursuing a systematic schooling. Born into a highly literate middle class family, with elder brothers whose interestand talent for literature and the arts, contributed to his own abiding interest. And this brought him at the age of thirteen to Santiniketan.
