Ancient Wisdom - Handmade Painting

Lord Buddha, who was living a luxurious life when he was young has been painted in this beautiful Batik painting. He was the prince of Kapilabastu and like other princes for him too life was a bed of roses. Here he has been painted with heavy dose of bangles and drapery. The manner the artist has painted the work has made it doubly clear that he has a clear sense of colour gradations and lines. The figure has been depicted in a joyful manner.

The Apostle of Truth and Non-violence, "Lord Buddha" is treated with some brilliant strokes in Kalamkari pattern. A deep sense of gravity and accomplishment is manifest on His face as the Lord, who gave up the lap of luxury in search of the Absolute Truth, is painted on a meditative posture. He is wearing a single piece of cloth. The panels around the figure are also nicely decorated with some floral and animal motifs.
