VISHWANATHA KEDLAYA - SHRADDHANJALI

 Friday, April 10, 2026

Bengaluru

Dr Vishwanath Kedlaya

A shocking news this morning is the passing away of young Dental Doctor, in mid fifties, due to cardiac arrest.

He is elder son of Late Prabhakar Kedlaya (my mother's, brother's son), and Vatsala. There were in Abudhabi, Dubai, He is survived by his wife Krupa and son Abhinav.(14 years)

He also worked as Dentist at Bandar Seri Bhagavan, Brunei, for some years and about five years ago he returned to Bengaluru and established a Dental Clinic at Banashankari/Jayanagara.

We have attended so many functions with the family and he was quite a God fearing person and was taking care of parents with sincerity.

Sometimes I feel, Fate is so cruel, it takes away people who are hale and healthy and people who are suffering with ailments continue to suffer.

Your leaving this material world Vishwanatha, feeling very very sad....

Pray for your soul to rest in peace, and God Almighty give strength to the family to bear this loss.

Om Shanthi....
