Benudhar Raut born in 1925 in the village of Harichandanpur in Keonjhar district. He did his
M.A. in Odiya in 1949 from the Utkal University and joined a Government College as lecturer in Odiya. Benudhar has written primarily poetry, but he has also to his credit a number of articles on art and literature which appeared in different periodicals from time to time.
As a poet he is basically an experimentalist and has tried diverse techniques. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he does not blindly imitate the new poets of the West. He believes that problems and their solutions in the east and in the west cannot be the same and they call for totally different approaches. Benudhar does not try to imitate a technique which does not suit the subject. He often seeks to modify the technique to suit his need. His poetical works include Pingalar surya (1967). He also wrote some essays which, though few in number, testify to the clarity and originality of his thought.
