कुछ भी रचो सबके विरूद्ध होता है इस दुनिया में जहाँ सब सहमत हैं क्या होते हैं मित्र कौन होते हैं मित्र जो यह ज़रा-सी बात नहीं जानते अकेले लोगों की टोली देर तक टोली नहीं रहती वह बिखर जाती है रक्षा की खोज में रक्षा की खोज में पाता है हर एक अपनी-अपनी मौत।

Devotees on the Ghats of Varanasi

This poignant oil painting captures a quiet, reverent moment along the ancient stone ghats of Varanasi. A small community of pilgrims, enveloped in warm shawls and draped in traditional saris, sits closely together under the protective shadow of a massive woven bamboo chhatri. Beyond this intimate circle, the timeless expanse of the river Ganges unfolds in soft pastel blues and greens, bearing solitary wooden boats gliding across its calm waters. The artist, an observant traveler through India, inscribed the place name Varanasi in Devanagari script next to their personal red seal stamp, forever preserving a quiet morning of shared stillness on the holy riverbanks.
