सौ ख़ुलूस बातों में सब करम ख़यालों में बस ज़रा वफ़ा कम है तेरे शहर वालों में

पहली बार नज़रों ने चाँद बोलते देखा हम जवाब क्या देते खो गये सवालों में

रात तेरी यादों ने दिल को इस तरह छेड़ा जैसे कोई चुटकी ले नर्म नर्म गालों में

मेरी आँख के तारे अब न देख पाओगे रात के मुसाफ़िर थे खो गये उजालों में

Pratima Visarjan

Paired Painting

Pratima Visarjan

Gaganendranath Tagore possessed a rare gift for capturing the ethereal atmosphere of nocturnal Bengal. In this hauntingly beautiful scene, he depicts the Pratima Visarjan, the final act of the Durga Puja festival where the deity is returned to the waters. The painting breathes with a sense of melancholic devotion, as the golden glow of the idol illuminates the shadowed street, creating a profound contrast against the encroaching darkness of the surrounding architecture. It is a masterful study of light and mood, inviting the viewer to witness the silent, collective reverence of the devotees as they part with the Divine, marking the cycle of creation and dissolution that defines the spiritual life of the region.
