Amit Gautam, a distinguished visual artist, is celebrated for his exceptional command over the watercolor medium—a form both fluid and elusive, requiring a rare finesse. A postgraduate from National Institute of Design, Amit brings a unique take on contemporary art.

His works have been showcased across prominent galleries both in India and internationally, including the Fall Brook Art Centre, Middletown Arts Centre, Mooresevevilla Arts Centre, Pryor Art Gallery, and the Michelson Museum of Art in the United States.

Watercolor, by its very nature, demands both patience and precision. To coax such a mercurial medium into form is an art in itself—and in Gautam’s work, viewers are treated to a masterclass in this delicate balance. His portraits, the highlight of this exhibition, are imbued with quiet intensity and a profound sensitivity to human expression. Faces in his paintings do not merely exist—they speak, they reveal, they evoke.

Gautam’s fascination with the human condition—particularly the nuances of the face—forms the emotional core of his artistic journey. The human figure has remained a consistent theme in his explorations, serving both as subject and metaphor. In his portraits, each face becomes a narrative—etched in color, shadow, and silence.

This exhibition is not a declaration, but an invitation—to experience the poetic drama of light and pigment, of flowing color harnessed within form. The works are as unrestrained as they are composed—a celebration of color, contemplation, and craft.

His paintings strike a rare harmony between conceptual precision and expressive freedom.

The exhibition is open to all, from 11 AM to 7 PM daily, and admission is free of charge. Art connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike are warmly invited to witness this exquisite confluence of technique and soul, and to immerse themselves in a visual experience that is both profound and poetic.

Dr. Dadu Maharaj, a determined, virtuous and cheerful person, is such a saint who radiates a wonderful positive energy at the very first meeting. His gentle face and mild smile settles in the heart. The desire to meet and communicate with him again and again arises in the mind.

Spiritual Guru of Bollywood Celebrities

The birth anniversary of revered Dadu Maharaj is celebrated with great enthusiasm every year on 17 January in the Mayanagari of Mumbai as the spiritual guru of many film personalities. Many famous celebrities and devotees from all over the country participate in this grand event.

Message to love Shani Dev

Dadu Maharaj always gives this message in his sermons –

“Do not be afraid of Shani Dev, love him.”

Every Saturday, a huge crowd of devotees gathers at Gajasin Shani Dham, Indore, from morning to night.

Abhishek of Shani Dev is done with the water of various holy ponds and rivers.

At 8:30 pm, a grand event of collective Shani Chalisa Paath, Bhajan-Kirtan and Aarti is organized.

After this, hundreds of devotees get guidance to get rid of the troubles of their life by getting free consultation from Dadu Maharaj.

Devotees offer sesame and oil to Shani Dev, offer lamps, coconut, tie a protective thread on the Ichchhapurti Stambh and offer Prasad when their wish is fulfilled.

Amazing confluence of religion with social service

Saint Dr. Dadu Maharaj is a pioneer not only in the field of religion but also in social work.

From time to time, he organizes various Mahayagya, rituals and Sant Samagam such as

Shani Shanti Mahayagya
