देख पड़ी अनुराग-राग-रंजित रवितन में। छबि पाई भर विपुल-विभा नीलाभ-गगन में। बर-आभा कर दान ककुभ को दुति से दमकी। अन्तरिक्ष को चारु ज्योतिमयता दे चमकी। कर संक्रान्ति गिरि-सानु-सकल को कान्त दिखाई। शोभितकर तरुशिखा निराली-शोभा पाई। कलित बना कर कनक कलश को हुई कलित-तर। समधिक-धवलित सौधा-धाम कर बनी मनोहर। लता बेलि को परम-ललित कर लही लुनाई। कुसुमावलि को विकच बना विकसित दिखलाई। ज्वलित हुई कर सरित-सरोवर-सलिल समुज्ज्वल। उठी जगमगा परम-प्रभामय कर अवनीतल। निज सेवा फल से ही हुई प्रात की किरण प्रति फलित। विकसित सरसित सफलित लसित सम्मानित आभा बलित।

The Poet
अयोध्या सिंह उपाध्याय ‘हरिऔध’
Ayodhya Singh Upadhyay 'Hariaudh'
1865 · 1947
Ayodhya Singh Upadhyay, widely known by his pen name Hariaudh, fundamentally altered the course of modern Hindi poetry. Born in 1865 in Nizamabad, Uttar Pradesh, he initially wrote in Braj Bhasha before making a decisive shift to Khari Boli. This transition proved historic. In 1914, he published Priyapravas, universally recognized as the very first epic poem written in modern Hindi. Hariaudh did not just write a monumental text. He proved that the everyday language of the people possessed the aesthetic gravity necessary for grand mythological narratives. His poetry seamlessly blended profound devotion with contemporary social reform, reimagining the divine figures of Radha and Krishna as dedicated servants of humanity. He served for decades as a professor at Banaras Hindu University, mentoring an entire generation of modern writers. Passing away in 1947, Hariaudh left a legacy that permanently established the structural foundations of contemporary Hindi literature.

In the foreground, silhouetted trees frame the vast expanse, drawing the viewer into a meditative contemplation of nature's eternal grandeur. The artist masterfully translates the atmospheric serenity and spiritual stillness of the high mountains into tangible pigments, offering a visual prayer of devotion to the sacred abodes of the gods.
