शहर गांव की ही बनाए हुए हैं। वही पर यहाँ मुँह छिपाए हुए हैं।

मिला जो प्रगति के लिए ख़ास कुछ भी, शहर  ही   बहुत   सा   पचाए  हुए   हैं।

करें बात जो गाँव के ही प्रगति की, वही  खुद  शहर  में  बसाए हुए  हैं।

निराकृत नगीने सिरज गाँव भी तो, दुकानें  स्वयं  ही  सजाए  हुए  हैं।

शहर-गाँव सब कसमसाते हुए अब, स्वयं की प्रकृति भूल आए हुए हैं।

Girl from the Santhal Tribe

Paired Painting

Girl from the Santhal Tribe

This evocative portrait captures a moment of quiet grace, reflecting the deep empathy the artist held for the indigenous Santhal community. Through the delicate interplay of light and shadow, the painter invites us into a serene rural landscape where humanity and nature exist in rhythmic harmony. The girl, portrayed with a gaze that is both innocent and deeply profound, rests with a gentle dignity that honors her connection to the land and the simple, sacred joys of village life in India. The work stands as a testament to an aesthetic that sought to celebrate the authentic spirit of tribal communities, preserving their identity with respect and a gentle, humanistic touch.
