Bhaarateeya Saṁskṛti 

Bhagavad Gita

Tanjore (or Thanjavur) painting originates from Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu, South India, and is known for its rich colors, gold foil work, and iconic devotional themes.

Bhagavad Gita
Chapter 3, Verse 35

It is far better to perform one’s natural prescribed duty, though tinged with faults, than to perform another’s prescribed duty, though perfectly. In fact, it is preferable to die in the discharge of one’s duty, than to follow the path of another, which is fraught with danger.

श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुण: परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात् |
स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेय: परधर्मो भयावह: || 35||
śhreyān swa-dharmo viguṇaḥ para-dharmāt sv-anuṣhṭhitāt
swa-dharme nidhanaṁ śhreyaḥ para-dharmo bhayāvahaḥ
