*Pandit* **Ramarao Patro** ([Odia](/source/Odia_language): ରାମାରାଓ ପାତ୍ର, romanized: *Rāmarao Pātra*; born 1947[1]) is an [Odissi music](/source/Odissi_music) Guru, Odissi [Bina](/source/Veena) exponent or *Bīṇākara* (also spelled Veena), noted composer & vocalist.[2] He has composed music for hundreds of [Odissi dance](/source/Odissi) items[3] and has worked closely with the founding Gurus of Odissi dance including Guru [Pankaj Charan Das](/source/Pankaj_Charan_Das), Guru [Deba Prasad Das](/source/Deba_Prasad_Das) & Guru [Kelucharan Mahapatra](/source/Kelucharan_Mahapatra).[4] He has widely performed Odissi Bina recitals across the state.[5] He presently teaches Odissi Veena to students at Guru Ramhari Das' Odissi Gurukul at Biragobindapur, Puri, Odisha. Patro is the very last Guru and artiste of the Odissi Veena.[1][6] Patro started his initial training at the age of six in the Gandhiji Sangita Kalamandira established by Acharya [Tarini Charan Patra](/source/Tarini_Charan_Patra) in his hometown. He initially trained under Guru Bauribandhu Das and Guru Krusna Chandra Brahma. He then learned vocal Odissi music and the intricacies of the Bina in the [Odissi style of music](/source/Odissi_music) from [Tarini Charan Patra](/source/Tarini_Charan_Patra) himself. He later joined the [Utkal Sangeet Mahavidyalaya](/source/Utkal_Sangeet_Mahavidyalaya) as a student and continued his musical education there.[1] He is the author of a voluminous book *Odissi Sangita Baridhi* (co-authored with disciple Prateek Pattanaik) documenting details of 60 Odissi ragas and 140 traditional Odissi compositions as taught by Guru Tarini Charan Patra.[7] For his contributions to preserving the Bina, he has received the Odisha Sangeet Natak Akademi award in 2008.
