A classic painting of the beautiful princess ‘Damayanti'
Attractive art work, in conversation with the swan -‘Hamsa',
Takes you on a flight with golden wings of imagination,
To an exotic destination of amour, intrigue and love affair!
When the distant hearts are aflame with passionate love,
When the sensitive hearts are afloat with intense love,
Contemplating sweet smiles of tender love that flow with
Charming words, messages, whisperings of love!
An iconic painting that has won the hearts of connoisseurs,
An immortal love story of royal sweet hearts and a swan,
Handsome Prince Nala and the beautiful Princess Damayanti,
Heavenly white swan -the sweet messenger of love epistles.
Ageless art that crosses the margin of boundaries and limitations,
Artistic expression that mesmerises with timeless, ethereal romance!
To me, it represents the triveni or the confluence of Indian mythology, painting and poetry. I like the idea and appreciate this poetic representation. Your grasp of the theme, ambience and the language is meticulous and finetuned. Thanks, Geeta ji.
It's good that you have added the graphic. If possible, please resize (reduce the size of) the picture to retain its sharpness.
The painting came alive through your beautiful poem, Hats Off Geetaji.
I have almost forgotten the tale of Nala and Damyanti. Thank you for reminding. I need to refresh my memory of this story by reading it again.
Lovely series of poems you have created to depict the immortal moments from the immortal paintings of Raja Ravi Varma.
Great combination of Indian art and your poetry depicting the culture and tradition if Indian women through the Raja Ravi Varma painting on Hamsa Damayanti.Great work, Well penned r poet Dr.Geeta Radhakrishna Menon..
Combining history and art with your beautiful and descriptive language makes for both an educational and pleasurable experience.
