The beautiful Kalamkari painting of Sakyamuni Buddha is given a sober and simple yet beautiful treatment. The Apostle of Truth is seated in a meditative posture behind the huge tree and a deep sense of satisfation is manifest on His face. Lord Gautam Buddha gave up the lap of luxury in search of the Truth. After a rigorous penance, He came out with the Absolute Truth. He found a panacea for Universal ills. This genre of cloth painting is centred on Kalahasti region of Andhra Pradesh, and is is marked by strong colour pattern and lines.
