Sau Khulus Baaton Mein Sab Karam Khayalon Mein
Bashir Badr4 verses · ~1 min
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

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.
