Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri (Bengali: ???????????? ??????? Nr?sinha Prasad Bhadu?i; born 23 November 1950) is an Indologist and a specialist of Indian epics and Puranas.
He is also a writer.
As of 2012 he is overseeing a large-scale encyclopaedia project on Indian epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana which will be released around 2015.
Due to the difficulty and complexity of the undertaking, it took Bhaduri a decade to conceptualise the project.
Indian news article writers stated that encyclopaedia was poised to challenge many long-held beliefs about the epics.
