A week worth of episodes and I cannot help but notice the constant presence of fire in the show. I maybe reading too much into things but I came to the conclusion that when Shivika are water, almost passionately flowing into one another and RuMya Earth, as tangible and concrete, Rikara are synonymous with fire, as blazing and fervent. The fire is all around, sometimes as explicit as the bone fire by which Omkara sat, or the fire by which the Thakurayin attempted suicide, the fire with which Janvi tried to immolate , the fire was in the burning coal with which Gauri's relatives tortured her mother and at times it is subtle in its presence, burning through the eyes of Omkara as he sees Gauri, it burns in his disgust or the eyes of Gauri when she burns in anger, it was present when they had their war of words and it was the metaphorical fire which burned the Artist. Fire.

Fire.
Aflame. Afire. Ablaze.
His finger tips, her skin, his touch on her. Blazing. His hands burned, the fire searing his flesh. The fire burned before him. The physical fire he set with his own hands. The very hands which were burning now in the another fire; the fire inside him. He gazed down upon the woman in his arms. He saw the coal black eyes, the luscious lips, and the raven black hair, the high set nose and the fair skin, his fingers felt the softness of her raven black mane. A smiled grazed her lips. She was Swetlana and she was his bride. His feet were burning, the fire searing through his flesh as he took each step around it.
He shut his eyes.
Afire. Ablaze. Aflame.
Eyes open and burning. Light brown eyes, innocent and wide, the small nose and the soft fair skin and the luscious black curls which touched his skin. Blood ran down her forehead and forearms. She was troubled, stunned, confused and confounded. She was Gauri and she was his bride. He could see his mother burning and he was burning. The fire intensified at each step. It was everything vile, everything vicious, everything black and it consumed him.
Ablaze. Aflame. Afire.
