Family
Rasikendra Nath Nandi belonged to a Varendra Kayastha family of Pabna. His father Radhabinod Nandi, a follower of Gaudiya Vaishnavism was a petty Zamindar of Pabna district. Radhabinod’s family, originally belongs to Nandi family of Baghutia, was a staunch follower of Gaudiya Vaishnavism. They used to worship Radha-Vinod (deities of Sree Radha and Lord Krishna). Their family vigraha (idols) of Radha-Vinod had been crafted in Jaipur sometime between 1840 and 1850. This is a replica of the original vigraha of Radha-Vinod presently kept in Jaipur, Rajasthan. A portion of the Zamindari in Pabna was dedicated for the service of Radha-Vinod. The present members of the family of Rasikendra Nath still worship Radha-Vinod with great respect and devotion.
