Description:

The riverside of the holy city of Banaras has always attracted the attention of people. From the late eighteenth century onwards, both amateur and professional European painters were drawn to paint the panoramic scenic beauty of its ghats (“holy landing places”, used also for ritualistic bathing). The ghats are a vast area of space for the religious and cultural life of the city, serving also as the “lungs” of the thick population of the city which they fringed. These were gradually stone-paved and steps leading to the river were built; this trend mainly started in the second half of the sixteenth century. This great architecture movement was initiated by the Rajputs and subsequently followed by Maratha donors. In the present illustration folder, the core of this chain of ghats was already built while the flanks were yet to come.
Pilgrims taking ablution in the holy waters of the Ganga, dhobis washing clothes, corpses being cremated, cows and horses roaming, and such daily scenes as can still be seen today on the banks of the river have been treated with rare insight and humour. The river is replete with many types of boats, a principal mode of locomotion, such as goods-laden boats, ferry boats, pleasure boats of different denominations with liveried boatsmen, rowing boats, sail boats, boats drawn upstream by ropes. . . .
These paintings are the work of a “Company School” local painter, working in a localized tradition of British landscape water colour. The scenes are mostly naturalistic and present an authentic account of the riverfront.

About Author:

Dilip Kumar heretically the inhabitant of Kashi studied in Banaras Hindu University presently running a prestigious bookshop in Varanasi. Proud to say that his greatest grandfather’s family have been building contractors and helped making many of Grand Mansions and Forts in those times for those kings and Royal families of Banaras by bringing stones and boulders from Chunar mountains.

Poet; philosopher and merchant; Banarasidas had no precedent in literature or tradition that might have inspired him to write his life’s story or guided him in his task. His motivation to write his story was simple: ‘Let me tell my story to all.’ Completed in the winter of 1641; in Agra; Ardhakathanak is the first autobiography in an Indian language. Banarsidas charms us with his transparency and frankness; revealing as much of himself as possible. And he punctuates the fast-flowing narrative of his life every now and then to muse on the nature of human existence. The result is an astonishing account that is more modern than medieval in tone; and free of formulaic conventions and stylized ornamentation. At the end of his ‘half story’; Banarasi becomes as intimate to us as an old friend. We know the ups and downs of his life almost as well as we know our own and we come to identify with his intellectual and spiritual struggles; and perhaps even share them.

The enchanting beauty of Bani Thani has been captured in the amazing marble painting. The Rajasthani beauty is adorned with spectacular gracefulness and a deeper sense of feminine character. Her red lips, the broad eyes with eye- brows, have been given a royal treatment and the painting is full of ornaments and 22-karat gold. A sense of shyness is manifest in the beautiful painting. Indeed the superlative beauty of the lady is a treat for eyes. Bani Thani paintings characterize the Kishangarh school of paintings in Rajasthan. Bani Thani was a housemaid of Raja Sawant Singh’s (1748-1764) stepmother Bankawatji. Raja Sawant Singh had a soft corner for Bani Thani because of her enchanting beauty. She was tall, slim, with queenly smile and red lips. Besides being an ardent devotee of Krishna, Savant Singh was an accomplished poet and painter. He under the name of Nagari Das composed many poems in praise of Bani Thani. Also, there are several paintings depicting the amorous episode of Krishna and Radha carrying the name of Nagari Das at back. He instructed his chief court painter Nihal Chand to paint Radha, the consort of Krishna drawing inspiration from Bani Thani. As Sawant Singh had completely given himself to Bani Thani, she also completely entrusted herself to him. Sawant Singh went to Mt. Govardhan along with Bani Thani where Krishna had lifted the Mt. Govardhan on his index finger to safeguard the people of Brij from the wrath of Indra. He and Bani Thani sang devotional songs and later came to Mathura the birthplace of Krishna. Bani Thani came to be known as Rasik Bihari and composed the hymns for the priest Hari Das. She died a year after her lord Nagari Das.

A TALE OF GREED, LUST AND REDEMPTION

The good days are over on Dalal Street and the past comes to haunt those who didn’t play it by the book.

Rekha, Amit, Satya and their boss, Nitin, struggle to maintain their sanity in the dynamic world of office politics, fuelled by their mad drive for the high life. Unfortunately, the skills needed to survive this fast-paced corporate maze are not taught at B-schools.

Follow these bankers as they navigate choppy financial markets at work and volatile personal lives, manoeuvring through aggressive competition and covert deals—bosses stealing credit, subordinates thrown to the wolves for “greater good”, sexual transgressions and booze-filled nights.

To add to the mayhem, a sudden crash in the global markets sends their lives into a tailspin, testing their strength of character. Who will win and who will lose? Who will stay and who will quit?

The sense of satisfaction is visible on the face of the Lord. Whereas the upper part of the body is left naked the lower part is covered with drapery. Lord Krishna plays his flute mesmerizing the cow-herders daughters with his enchanting melodies and irresistible charisma in Gokul. This projection of the Lord is thought to affirm life by rejoicing in worldly pleasures teaching us to enjoy our time on this earth.

The beautiful and graceful figure of the Master of the Universe Lord Krishna is cut out of wood in a most artistic manner. His smiling face is spreading the message of love and peace. The Master of the flute is plying the flute with his ever lasting smile. Lord Krishna is one of the most popular deities in Hinduism and is worshipped by the Hindus across the world.

DESCRIPTION: 

विश्व साहित्य के गौरव, अंग्रेज़ी भाषा के अद्वितीय नाटककार शेक्सपियर का जन्म 26 अप्रैल, 1564 ई. को इंग्लैंड के स्ट्रैटफोर्ड-आन-ए वोन नामक स्थान में हुआ। उनके पिता एक किसान थे और उन्होंने कोई बहुत उच्च शिक्षा भी प्राप्त नहीं की। इसके अतिरिक्त शेक्सपियर के बचपन के बारे में बहुत कम जानकारी उपलब्ध है। 1582 ई. में उनका विवाह अपने से आठ वर्ष बड़ी ऐन हैथवे से हुआ। 1587 ई. में शेक्सपियर लंदन की एक नाटक कम्पनी में काम करने लगे। वहाँ उन्होंने अनेक नाटक लिखे जिनसे उन्होंने धन और यश दोनों कमाए। 1616 ई. में उनका देहान्त हुआ। प्रसिद्ध हिन्दी साहित्यकार रांगेय राघव ने शेक्सपियर के ग्यारह नाटकों का हिन्दी अनुवाद किया है, जो इस श्रृंखला में पाठकों को उपलब्ध कराए जा रहे हैं।
