दौड़ी-दौड़ी आई पकौड़ी

छुन-छुन छुन-छुन तेल में नाची, प्लेट में आ शरमाई पकौड़ी।

दौड़ी-दौड़ी आई पकौड़ी।

हाथ से उछली मुह में पहुँची, पेट में जा घबराई पकौड़ी।

दौड़ी-दौड़ी आई पकौड़ी।

मेरे मन को भाई पकौड़ी।

Paired Painting

Warli Landscape with Tarpa Dance in Centre

This profound work serves as a living tapestry of the Warli tribe, reflecting a harmonious connection between humanity, nature, and the divine. The centerpiece is the Tarpa dance, a rhythmic, spiraling celebration that binds the community together in a circular flow of existence. Within this sacred geometry, the artist captures the essence of rural life, from the toil of cultivation to the quietude of the household. It is a testament to the Warli philosophy, where the simplicity of white pigment on a deep earth red background speaks volumes about the vibrancy of a life lived in tune with the seasons and the ancient rhythms of the earth.
