Krishna Chandra Naik was a master of Chhau. He was born in 1920. Krishna Chandra Naik was initiated from a very young age by Jogendra Kumar Bhanja and Bhagwan Das. He received full support from the Maharaja of Mayurbhanj, Pratap Chandra Bhanj Deo, and his uncle Shridamachandra Bhanj. Krishna Chandra Naik performed well into his old age, unlike most Chhau dancers of his generation. He choreographed many outstanding items, and taught as a senior guru at the Mayurbhanj Chhau Nritya Pratisthan at Baripada and under assignment from the Sangeet Natak Akademi. Krishna Chandra Naik died in 1987.
