गली तो चारों बंद हु हैं मैं हरिसे मिलूं कैसे जाय॥

ऊंची-नीची राह रपटली पांव नहीं ठहराय। सोच सोच पग धरूं जतन से बार-बार डिग जाय॥

ऊंचा नीचां महल पिया का म्हांसूं चढ्यो न जाय। पिया दूर पथ म्हारो झीणो सुरत झकोला खाय॥

कोस कोस पर पहरा बैठया पैग पैग बटमार। हे बिधना कैसी रच दीनी दूर बसायो लाय॥

मीरा के प्रभु गिरधर नागर सतगुरु द बताय। जुगन-जुगन से बिछड़ी मीरा घर में लीनी लाय॥

Vilaval Ragini from a Ragamala Set

In the quiet intimacy of the royal courtyard, a beloved heroine prepares for the joyful return of her lord, embodying the profound devotion of Vilaval Ragini. Created in the artistic ateliers of Bundi around 1680, this exquisite leaf from a Ragamala series translates the tender emotions of classical Indian music into a visual symphony of color, architecture, and mood. As twilight descends and a solitary peacock gazes from the parapet, a maidservant gently holds a mirror so the lady can adorn herself, while another musician plays a stringed instrument to soothe the longing heart. Every intricate detail, from the luminous gold borders to the delicate pink pavilions, invites the viewer into a timeless world of romance, spiritual longing, and refined Rajput aesthetics.
