The National Film Award for Best Direction is an honour presented annually at India's National Film Awards ceremony by the Directorate of Film Festivals (DFF), an organisation set up by the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Since 1967, the award is given by a national panel appointed annually by the DFF to a director for their work within Indian cinema. It is presented by the president of India at a ceremony held in New Delhi. The winner is given a "Swarna Kamal" (Golden Lotus) certificate and a cash prize of 2.5 lakh (US$3,500). Including ties and repeat winners, the DFF has presented a total of 52 Best Direction awards to 33 different directors. Although Indian cinema produces films in more than twenty languages, the performances of films that have won awards are of nine languages. The first recipient was Satyajit Ray (pictured), who was honoured at the 15th National Film Awards for directing the Bengali film Chiriyakhana (1967). Ray is the also most frequent recipient, with six wins. (Full list...)

The work portrays an unknown man, whose garments belonged to the upper middle class of the time. He wears a leather blouse, under which a white shirt is visible, and a red cloth cap. The portrait is in the collection of the National Gallery in London.
