ऋतु फागुन नियरानी हो, कोई पिया से मिलावे। सोई सुदंर जाकों पिया को ध्यान है, सोई पिया की मनमानी, खेलत फाग अंग नहिं मोड़े, सतगुरु से लिपटानी। इक इक सखियाँ खेल घर पहुँची, इक इक कुल अरुझानी। इक इक नाम बिना बहकानी, हो रही ऐंचातानी।।
पिय को रूप कहाँ लगि बरनौं, रूपहि माहिं समानी। जौ रँगे रँगे सकल छवि छाके, तन-मन सबहि भुलानी। यों मत जाने यहि रे फाग है, यह कछु अकथ-कहानी। कहैं कबीर सुनो भाई साधो, यह गति विरलै जानी।।

Paired Painting
Two Aspects of Kali, Kali Enshrined
Created in the vibrant bazaars surrounding the Kali Temple in nineteenth century Calcutta, this sacred painting reflects the fervent devotion of Kalighat patuas who captured the raw spiritual energy of the goddess for passing pilgrims. The image portrays Goddess Kali in her revered enshrined form, evoking a profound sense of divine awe and protection. Her fierce yet compassionate visage, adorned with traditional symbols of cosmic power, speaks to the heart of Bengali Shaktism, where the terrifying destroyer is ultimately experienced as the loving universal mother who liberates the soul from the endless cycle of rebirth.
