Binay, born and raised in Banaras, was the youngest of five brothers and showed an early inclination toward art, inspired and encouraged by his elder brothers Upendra and Tejendra, who were also artists. In 1925, Saint Prabhudatta Brahmachari of Jhunsi Ashram, impressed by Binay’s artistic skills during a visit to Banaras, brought him to Jhunsi to create religious paintings. While painting at the ashram, Binay, also known as B.K. Mitra, met Bhaiji Hanuman Prasad Poddar, editor of Kalyan Magazine of Gita Press, who recognized his talent. Over time, Binay created around 4,500 paintings based on the Ramayana and Mahabharata. His works are still preserved in the Leela Bhavan of Gita Press, and his legacy continued through a devoted lineage of disciples, including Jagannath and Bhagwan, who enriched his artistic tradition at the press.
