Surya सूर्य | King of the Bougainvillea Court | Aluminium Print

सूर्य | Sometimes, grandchild, the sun comes to court in his bright red and gold, and the whole garden blooms to meet him. Look how the bougainvillea has burst into flower wherever his foot falls. The seven horses wait below, his charioteer beside them. In each hand a lotus, opening as he passes. The temple city behind him shines — not because of its gold, but because his light has reached it. There is no morning that he forgets. Even on the days when nobody looks up, he comes the same way. That is the kindness of kings.
