ख़त्म हुआ ईंटों के जोड़ों का तनाव प्लास्टर पर उभर आई हल्की-सी मुस्कान दौड़ी-दौड़ी चीटियाँ ले आईं अपना अन्न-जल फूटने लगे अंकुर जहाँ था तनाव वहाँ होने लगा उत्सव हँसी हँसी
हँसते-हँसते दोहरी हुई जाती है दीवार।

Paired Painting
Varaha emerging from a heap of rocks
This exquisite rendering captures the profound moment of Varaha, the boar incarnation of Lord Vishnu, manifesting from the primordial earth. It reflects a period where traditional Indian artistry met the descriptive curiosity of the Company era, resulting in works that serve as both spiritual icons and ethnographic documentation. The artist displays a delicate hand in balancing the divine authority of the deity with a rhythmic, almost stylized geometry of the rocks beneath him, reminding us of the eternal power Vishnu holds over the chaotic depths of the cosmic ocean.
