Birendra Krishna Bhadra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Birendra Krishna Bhadra was a spiritual poet. He recited Mahishashura Mardini, a collection of shlokas and songs broadcast by All India Radio Calcutta (now Kolkata) in the dawn of Mahalaya. He was an alumnus of Scottish Church College in Kolkata.
In the 1930s All India Radio used to broadcast a program called Mahishashura Mardini which describes the epic battle of goddess Durga with the demon king Mahishashura.[1] The script of this program was written by Bani Kumar and music directed by Pankaj Kumar Mallik.[1] Birendra Krishna Bhadra recited. In 1970s, the programme was recorded. In 2007 Durga Puja opens with the same recital by Birendra Krishna Bhadra.
Bhadra wrote some plays including Mess No. 49.[2]
