A remarkable vintage Indian devotional print depicting Shri Krishna delivering the sacred teachings of the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
The composition captures the iconic moment before battle, with Lord Krishna seated upon the chariot while Arjuna stands before him, his bow and arrows lowered to the ground. Rows of warriors, battle standards and the expansive battlefield form a dramatic background, giving the work strong narrative and historical character.
The original lower margin retains particularly valuable period information, including the printed title “SHRI KRISHN’S GITA UPDESH TO ARJUNA.” It is marked K. No. 19 and carries the names of its original Lahore producers:
Designed by: Girdhari Lal & Sons, Photographers, Anarkali, Lahore
Published by: The Dharmik Picture House, Anarkali, Lahore
Printed by: The Model Electric Press, Lahore
These surviving publisher and printer inscriptions make the piece especially interesting for collectors of historic Lahore printing, Indian devotional imagery and early religious ephemera.
Presented in an ornate old gold-tone frame, the print retains natural paper toning, minor marks and age-related wear, all consistent with its vintage character.

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.
