चालक- पथ की जीवन रथ की लेकर नव भाषाएं आया है नव वर्ष हमारा जागीं सब आशाएं

नये रंगों से रंगी ज़िन्दगी रंगोली-सी सोहे सात सुरों से सजी बांसुरी जैसे तन-मन मोहे

चलो समय का पहिया घूमा बदलीं परिभाषाएं!

फूल-फूल में प्रेम बढ़ेगा महकेगी फुलवारी धूप-चांदनी, बरखे बरखा लहकेगी हर क्यारी

झोली में सबके फल होंगे- पूरी अभिलाषाएं!

Gajalakshmi

Paired Painting

Gajalakshmi

In this transcendent vision painted by the legendary Raja Ravi Varma, the goddess Lakshmi emerges in her divine aspect as Gajalakshmi, the bringer of supreme wealth, royal grace, and boundless fertility. Standing poised upon a luminous pink lotus that floats serenely on the sacred waters, the four-armed deity holds celestial lotuses in her upper hands while granting blessings and showering abundance with her lower hands. Beside her, a majestic white elephant emerges from the tranquil river, joyfully offering a garland of fragrant flowers to honour the mother of the universe. White swans glide peacefully in the gentle current, and distant mountains rise beneath a soft, glowing sky, creating an atmosphere of profound harmony and spiritual awakening. Raja Ravi Varma has masterfully bridged the gap between divine mythology and tangible reality, inviting the viewer into a deeply moving encounter with the eternal grace of the divine feminine.
