Rare Vintage “Shri Bharat Mata” Black & White Print – Punjabi Press, Delhi

This rare and historic black-and-white print of Shri Bharat Mata was printed at the iconic Punjabi Press, Sadar Bazar, Delhi, a renowned publisher during India’s freedom movement era. Depicted in a divine form, Bharat Mata is shown holding the Charkha (spinning wheel) in one hand and the Indian national flag in the other, symbolizing Swadeshi, self-reliance, and the spirit of independence.

Her poised stance over the waters represents India’s strength, unity, and prosperity, while the traditional attire and crown reflect cultural pride. Such imagery was a powerful source of inspiration during the pre-independence period, adorning homes, shops, and public spaces as a mark of patriotism.

Encased in its original ornate antique frame, this piece is not just an artwork but a preserved slice of history. Prints from Punjabi Press of this nature are now considered rare collectibles, sought after by heritage art lovers and serious collectors alike.
