I join in mourning the loss of Kapila Vatsyayan.  She invited me to work at the IGNCA for a month as a consultant, back in '94 I think it was.  I very much enjoyed interacting with her.  She was a strong and clever person who did not suffer fools gladly, but she was also kind and had a mischievous sense of humour.   She did truly great things for the discovery and dissemination of Indian history and culture across many fields, and she was a formidable leader and builder of institutions.  I am truly sorry she is no longer with us.

Dear Colleagues,

We note with great sadness the passing of our friend and colleague Dr. Kapila Vatsyayan with whom nay of us have worked over the years. She was a mainstay in the cultural, artistic, literary world of traditional Indian Studies and a great institution builder through her  longstanding association with the IIC and her service as the founder of the IGNCA. She will be sorely missed.

The passing away of a doyen ... Dr. Kapila Vatsyayan. A void in the field of art.  We all have read and gained knowledge from her dynamic writings....  A great scholar who contributed immensely to the field of art.... May her noble soul attain Sadgati🙏🏻   

Thanks & Regards,
