साईं घोड़े आछतहि गदहन आयो राज कौआ लीजै हाथ में दूरि कीजिये बाज

दुरी कीजिये बाज राज पुनि ऐसो आयो सिंह कीजिये कैद स्यार गजराज चढायो

कह गिरिधर कविराय जहाँ यह बूझि बधाई तहां न कीजै भोर साँझ उठि चलिए साईं

Procession of Maharao Ram Singh II of Kota

This magnificent painting captures a stately procession featuring Maharao Ram Singh II of Kota, a ruler celebrated for his deep patronage of the arts and his devotion. Set against a lush, verdant landscape punctuated by graceful trees, serene waters, and palatial architecture, the ruler sits majestically atop a caparisoned elephant glowing with ornate gold textiles. Attendants, musicians, and noble figures surround the grand procession, creating a rhythmic movement that breathes life into the scene. Every brushstroke honors the vibrant courtly culture of nineteenth century Rajasthan, immortalizing a moment of royal grace and divine majesty.
