Education
Young Kalidas at the early age of 13 had already started teaching when he was still enrolled as a student at the Durbar High School- the first school of Nepal. Listening to the man himself share his experiences was like taking a journey back to the genesis years of Nepalese art history. He obtained primary education from Durbar High School. In the year 1944 he completed Kala Pravin. This was the highest level of art education available in Nepal, he knew to achieve his goals he had to prepare himself to the fullest and for that he went to Mumbai (then Bombay) and in 1957 earned Graduate Diploma in Arts (GDA) degree from the Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy School of Art in Mumbai (1957) under the Colombo Plan.
