Khagendra Nath Barman, the son of Late Sri Tarani Kanta Barman was born at Bhakua tepa in the Barpeta dist. of Assam on 19th April, 1955.

Aptly described as the dancer born with the bells, Guru Khagendranath Barman's efforts to establish a school in the Kalakshetra style are a welcome event in the Calcutta dance world. His method of teaching is extremely demanding. He being an excellent performer, his students have the extra advantage of watching his example. "Guruji has spent many years of his life under the direct tutelage of his 'Athai', Guru Rukmini Devi and became an outstanding disciple of her. Presently he is the Selection-grade Senior lecturer in RBU. He is a gifted singer and has given programmes in AIR. Guruji did his best to propagate 'Kalakshetra'style in this city and during these years had moulded a number of talented dancers of which many were National scholarship (Govt., of India) holders.
