न कोई बताना बहाना पड़ेगा। तुम्हें जिंदगी को थहाना पड़ेगा।

मिलेगा तुम्हें फूल ही फल न समझो, तुम्हें कंटकों को निभाना पड़ेगा।

अभी तो सभी घर जले ही पड़े हैं। तुम इन सभी को बनाना पड़ेगा।

न कोई दिखे अब सही राह चलते, तुम्हें नाव खेना चलाना पड़ेगा?

धुआँ जो उठा है कहीं आग होगी, तुम्हें ही बुझाना जलाना पड़ेगा।

Bhima in the Kurukshetra War

Paired Painting

Bhima in the Kurukshetra War

This stirring composition captures the overwhelming ferocity of the Mahabharata, specifically focusing on the formidable presence of Bhima, the second Pandava. With his legendary strength, Bhima stands as a force of nature upon the dusty plains of Kurukshetra, wielding his mace with a singular, devastating purpose. The artist masterfully conveys the chaotic rhythm of ancient warfare, where the lines between man and beast blur amidst the swirling sands of battle. It is a moment of profound intensity, reflecting the weight of duty, sacrifice, and the cataclysmic scale of a war that would define the moral landscape of Indian civilization for millennia to come.
