[1][2] Kshitindranath Mazumdar was born on 31 July 1891 to a Bengali family in Jagtai, a remote village in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal.
[5][6][7] His family was highly influenced by Vaishnavism, a sect of Hinduism which revolves around the worship of the Hindu deity Vishnu.
[11] Mazumdar's artistic capabilities and talent caught the eye of Mahendra Narayan Roy, the zamindar of a nearby village, Nimtita.
[21][22][23] Mazumdar, in his works, also merged spirituality with sensuality, while focusing on Vaishnavite deities and religious, mythological and Puranic themes and narratives.
'[26] Mazumdar, alongside Nandalal Bose, worked as a teacher at the Indian Society of Oriental Art in Kolkata for 18 years from 1912 to 1930.
