अपना ग़म लेके कहीं और न जाया जाये घर में बिखरी हुई चीज़ों को सजाया जाये

जिन चिराग़ों को हवाओं का कोई ख़ौफ़ नहीं उन चिराग़ों को हवाओं से बचाया जाये

बाग में जाने के आदाब हुआ करते हैं किसी तितली को न फूलों से उड़ाया जाये

ख़ुदकुशी करने की हिम्मत नहीं होती सब में और कुछ दिन यूँ ही औरों को सताया जाये

घर से मस्जिद है बहुत दूर चलो यूँ कर लें किसी रोते हुए बच्चे को हँसाया जाये

Preparing for Puja at the Shrine

Paired Painting

Preparing for Puja at the Shrine

This intimate interior scene captures a quiet, sacred moment of domestic devotion, reflecting the deep spiritual rhythms of traditional Indian household life. Figures are delicately engaged in preparing offerings for a puja or sacred ritual at a domestic shrine. The tender gesture of assistance, the reverent focus on the ritual vessels, and the gentle architectural framing evoke a profound sense of peace and familial piety. Through careful artistry, the work preserves a vanishing window into the cultural traditions and quiet spiritual grace of domesticity.
