दैया री मोहे भिजोया री शाह निजाम के रंग में। कपरे रंगने से कुछ न होवत है या रंग में मैंने तन को डुबोया री पिया रंग मैंने तन को डुबोया जाहि के रंग से शोख रंग सनगी खूब ही मल मल के धोया री। पीर निजाम के रंग में भिजोया री।

Paired Painting

Meera Playing Ektara

This painting captures the soul of Meera Bai, the legendary fifteenth century saint and poet who surrendered her life to the divine love of Lord Krishna. In this depiction, the artist portrays Meera in a state of absolute transcendence. As she plays the ektara, her physical surroundings dissolve into a deep blue void, symbolizing the transcendence of the mundane world in favor of the inner light of devotion. The vibrant orange and yellow hues radiating from her form suggest the fire of her Bhakti, an internal glow that burns brighter than the darkness around her. It is a profound meditation on the power of music as a bridge between the mortal heart and the eternal beloved.
