Dinkar Kowshik (1918-2011) was an Indian painter.

Thereafter, he returned to Kala Bhavana first as a professor and later as its principal.

At Santiniketan, the ideas of Rabindranath Tagore on art and teaching continued for a long time as a monumental model.

Subsequently, there developed in the art arena of Santikietan the three pillars of ideas – Nandalal Bose, Benode Behari Mukherjee and Ramkinkar Baij.

They together raised Santiniketan to a level of unique eminence in the field of modern art in pre-independence India.
