मारग प्रेम को को समझै 'हरिचंद' यथारथ होत यथा है। लाभ कछू न पुकारन में बदनाम ही होने की सारी कथा है। जानत है जिय मेरो भला बिधि और उपाय सबै बिरथा है। बावरे हैं ब्रज के सगरे मोहिं नाहक पूछत कौन विधा है।

Paired Painting

Radha and Krishna

In this evocative painting, M.V. Dhurandhar breathes life into the eternal romance of Radha and Krishna. Set against the serene backdrop of an intricately carved stone sanctum, the artist captures a moment of quiet grace. Krishna, the divine flute player, rests with an air of playful wisdom, while Radha stands before him, her presence radiating a dignified devotion. The inclusion of the peacock, a symbol of Krishna, grounds the celestial lovers in a scene that feels both deeply intimate and profoundly spiritual. Dhurandhar, a pioneer of the Bombay School, marries European academic technique with the tender soul of Indian mythology, creating a bridge between the physical and the transcendental.
