मन का तोता करता रहता नित्य नए संवाद

महल-मलीदा, पदवी चाहे लाखों-लाख पगार काम न धेले भर का करता सपने आँख हज़ार

इच्छाओं की सूची मेरे सिर पर देता लाद

अपने आम बाग़ के मीठे कुतर-कुतर कर फेंके किन्तु पड़ोसी का खट्टा भी चँहके उसको लेके

समझाने पर करता रहता अड़ा-खड़ा प्रतिवाद

विज्ञापन की भाषा बोले ‘यह दिल माँगे मोर’ देख-देख बौराए तोता देता खींस निपोर

बात न माने करने लगता घर में रोज़ फ़साद

Coronation of Lord Rama

Paired Painting

Coronation of Lord Rama

The Coronation of Lord Rama, known as the Ram Rajyabhishek, represents the culmination of the epic Ramayana. After his victory over the demon king Ravana and his return to Ayodhya, Rama is rightfully crowned as the king. In this luminous depiction, we witness the divine couple, Rama and Sita, seated upon the golden throne, surrounded by the faithful Hanuman and the devoted brothers of Rama. This artwork is not merely a composition of figures: it is a spiritual testament to the ideal of Ram Rajya, a kingdom defined by righteousness, justice, and prosperity. It captures a moment of profound harmony where the heavens and the earth converge to celebrate the restoration of Dharma.
