Lok Tantra Mein Samantshahi Socho
5 verses · ~1 min
लोक तंत्र में समंतशाही सोचो। द्वार भीख में भी बादशाही सोचो।
साफ है कहाँ अब भी तुम्हारा दिमाग, जाग ही उठेगा राजशाही सोचो।
लक्ष्य दूर है कुछ जटिल भी मान रहा। विपरीत ध्रुव की आवाजाही, सोचो।
जबकि पार गहरे सागरों को करना, गिन लहर करें धन की उगाही सोचो।
एक संकल्प लेकर निकला है पर, टूटे कभी घर और पाही, सोचो।

Paired Painting
Shivaji Maharaj in the Court of Aurangzeb
This evocative work captures a defining moment in Indian history: the confrontation between the Maratha king Shivaji Maharaj and the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb at Agra. Within the opulent and suffocating grandeur of the Mughal court, Shivaji Maharaj stands with unwavering composure, his posture reflecting the courage of a lion facing an empire. The artist M. V. Dhurandhar masterfully utilizes light and perspective to contrast the rigid authority of the throne with the resilient spirit of the Maratha warriors. It is a profound meditation on dignity and defiance, illustrating the moment when the Maratha ruler confronted the treachery of his host, a pivotal instant that eventually fueled the rise of the Maratha Empire.
