Danseuse of Konark!

An epitome of grace,

as figurine in  tribhanga

The ultimate superfluous aura radiates

in the dancing statuette …

on beats pulsating,reverberate which the atoms of air

she steps on earth,kissing the soil of her motherland

with hands folded in a lotus shape,

her fingers offer the love of her heart,

she, the classic danseuse of  Konark!

 

Behind her, wheels of the royal chariot of Sun stand

withstanding years of scorching heat and sordid weather

The rustic sandstone roughens every moment

while her feet thumps in rhythm ,on every beat of the Mridanga!

 

Echoes the melancholic intense love of Geet Govinda,

sways the sculptured posture like a waving petal…

tenderly mesmerizing the ambience

in every atom of the milieu …

 starts the Abhinaya.

 

What an enchanting sight!

an alluring panorama…

The vista shines in flamboyance

in the ethereal dance

with the myriad hues of heaven…
