description: "Sudhir Ranjan Khastgir was an Indian painter of the Bengal school of art and an art educator. A pupil of Abanindranath Tagore and Nandalal Bose, Khastgir was known for his \"Indian style\" of painting. He graduated from Visva-Bharati University at Santiniketan in 1929. He was influenced by the Tagore family and his classic works include paintings of scenes from Indian mythologies, women, and village life. He was also the first art teacher at The Doon School, Dehradun, when it opened in 1935. Today, the many statues and murals on display at Doon, and frescoes of dancers at the entrance of a local cinema hall, The Orient, are his creations."
