ये अनजान नदी की नावें जादू के-से पाल उड़ाती आती मंथर चाल।

नीलम पर किरनों की साँझी एक न डोरी एक न माँझी , फिर भी लाद निरंतर लाती सेंदुर और प्रवाल!

कुछ समीप की कुछ सुदूर की, कुछ चन्दन की कुछ कपूर की, कुछ में गेरू, कुछ में रेशम कुछ में केवल जाल।

ये अनजान नदी की नावें जादू के-से पाल उड़ाती आती मंथर चाल।

River Landscape with Boats

Created in 1897 by C. Raja Raja Varma, the younger brother and close artistic collaborator of the renowned Raja Ravi Varma, this serene landscape captures a tranquil tropical waterway alive with traditional sailboats. Raja Raja Varma was celebrated for his mastery of watercolours and oils, often focusing on plein air landscape studies that documented the serene natural beauty of southern India. Through gentle brushwork and a warm, luminous palette, the artist invites the viewer into a timeless moment of quiet reflection along the riverbank, where the rhythm of daily life harmonizes completely with nature.
