Explanation:
Born in Bihar’s Munger district on December 3, 1882, Bose’s father Purna Chandra Bose at that time worked in the Darbhanga Estate and his mother, Khetramoni Devi, was a housewife with a skill in improvising toys and dolls.
Picking up the trait from his mother, Bose took active interest in moulding wet clay and decorating Durga Puja pandals. It perhaps marked the beginning of his artistic endeavours.
At the age of 15, he moved to Calcutta for high school studies. Bose wanted to study art but could not obtain permission from his family. Unable to qualify for promotion in his classes, Bose moved to other colleges, joining the Presidency College in 1905 to study commerce. After repeated failures, however, he joined Calcutta’s School of Art.
Career
Bose was groomed by Abanindranath Tagore, the nephew of Rabindranath Tagore as well as the principal artist and creator of the Indian Society of Oriental Art, for five years till 1910. Association with the Tagore family and the murals of Ajanta awakened his idealism for a nationalistic consciousness, commitment toward classical and folk art, along with its underlying spirituality and symbolism.
