"Mere to Giridhar Gopal, doosra na koyi"- "Only Giridhar Gopal (Sri Krishna) is mine, I have ties with no one else." The depth of Mirabai's bhakti and prema for Murli Manohara pervades the divine realm of Hinduism with its delicate colors and melody tunes. Self-surrender, oneness with the divine, and severing ties with the world characterize Mira's pure devotion, presented in this sublime watercolor painting.
The central space of the canvas is taken by Mira herself, who is dressed in pristine white, adorning the idol of Sri Krishna, which appears to be full of life- just how Mira perceived her Lord! A maid behind Mira carries a plate of fruit as an offering to Krishna. The grandeur of Mira's palace is delineated tastefully, with fine motifs on the carpet and marble walls. The riches around her fail to have an impact on Mira, who has found the most precious blue gem, her Mohan.
