Bhaktinaad is a distinctive charcoal artwork by Kailas Satambekar showing his bond with the motherland, rooted in the Maharashtrian traditions. The figurative charcoal painting in monochromatic architecture focuses on a devotee immersed in spirituality engrossed in playing a religious musical instrument called Mrudung or Mridangam.  

The Holy God Vitthal is textured through abstract Expressionism using black & white contrast showing the contemporary figurative style of Kailas Satambekar.

Bhaktinaad is the purest sound of the soul, completely immersed in the worship of Deity Vitthal, offering immense respect, love, and devotion to that higher self and forgetting about everything else. Bhaktinaad is the feeling of being bonded to that true sense of spirituality achieved through unwavering faith and devotion to God. 

This artwork represents Maharashtra’s holy pilgrimage Pandharichi Vaari, which is popular among natives for its steadfast dedication. Marathi words ‘Sawla Vitthal’ root into the cultural touch of devotees, capturing viewer’s attention.
