मुझ पर प्यारे शोध करो मत मुझको जी भर गाओ ।

चीर-फाड़ कविता के तन की अच्छी बात नहीं ख़ून-पसीने की फ़सलें मिलतीं ख़ैरात नहीं मुझको माला पहनाओ मत मुझको जी भर गाओ ।

रोकर गाती है जैसे बुधनी बकरी मरने पर रोकर गाओ, हँसकर गाओ तुम भी जी करने पर मेरी बातें याद करो मत मुझको जी भर गाओ ।

दो दिन या दो सदी जिएँगे ये कविवर, क्या जानें हमें जिलाएँगी आकाश- कुसुम-सी ये सन्तानें ज्यादा मेरा नाम रटो मत मुझको जी भर गाओ ।

Santhal Musicians and Dancers

Paired Painting

Santhal Musicians and Dancers

Jamini Roy turned away from Western academic painting to immerse his soul in the vibrant rhythms of rural Bengal and its indigenous communities. The Santhal people, with their deep connection to the earth and their joyous celebrations of music and dance, became a central pillar of his artistic devotion. In this breathtaking composition, Roy captures the communal harmony and cultural grace of the Santhal tribe, utilizing bold outlines, earthy pigments, and simplified monumental forms that echo the timeless traditions of Kalighat patuas and folk terracotta temples. Every figure resonates with a quiet, meditative dignity, celebrating the heartbeat of indigenous life in India.
