A striking vintage Indian devotional artwork titled “SUDARSHAN CHAKRA”, depicting a richly adorned divine figure dramatically holding the sacred Sudarshan Chakra.
The figure is shown in an energetic ceremonial pose, wearing an elaborate crown, layered jewellery and richly detailed traditional garments. The composition is enhanced with extensive hand-applied metallic work, including coiled metal elements, sequins, decorative beads and pearl-like accents applied over the crown, jewellery, costume and anklets.
These three-dimensional additions give the artwork exceptional texture and make the devotional image shimmer beautifully when viewed under changing light.
The original lower margin preserves several important period inscriptions, including:
SUDARSHAN CHAKRA
P. L. VARMA – Rawalpindi
Mahashe De Hatti – Rawalpindi
Hemchander Bhargava – Picture Publisher
The combination of Rawalpindi-associated printed credits, early devotional imagery and surviving hand embellishment makes this an unusually interesting collector’s piece.

Collector’s Highlight
The strongest feature of this example is the amount of surviving three-dimensional decorative work. Metallic elements have been individually applied throughout the costume, jewellery, crown and Sudarshan Chakra, transforming the printed image into a richly embellished devotional object.
The printed P. L. Varma, Rawalpindi and other Rawalpindi-linked inscriptions are also important identifying details and should remain clearly visible in the website photographs.
Brass is actually an alloy, not a pure metal. It’s a combination of copper and zinc, and the proportions of these metals determine the colour and properties of the brass. Known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, brass has been used for centuries in everything from musical instruments to household items. Using brass utensils can impart a subtle metallic taste to food, enhancing its flavour profile.
