The holy saint of India is given a delicate design in this spectacular velvet painting. The saint is seated holding a mala. Even the background is given a spectacular touch. Sai Baba has a mass following in India and abroad and his life is full of miracles and people from various corners of the country approached him seeking his blessings. A deep sense of devotion and piety is manifest in this sober painting. A very popular genre of painting style, velvet painting uses velvet for its typically silky and soft-to-touch look and preferably used as the base for unique and decorative paintings. Painted completely by hand, velvet painting is a shining example of the ascetic splendour of Indian art. Bold, bright and vivid colors are used to add to the richness of the velvet paintings.
