Hyderabad: Hyderabad-based Sutikaari Artist Dr Gyaneshwar Kamblekar passed away on Saturday. Sutikari art is all about a piece of art that is made of thread or cloth.

His art forms include portrait art, and abstract art. He made portraits of famous personalities including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi.
