A beautiful vintage Indian devotional print titled “SHYAM-JALADHAR”, depicting Lord Krishna playing the flute in a richly detailed natural setting. Krishna is shown in his iconic dark-blue form, adorned with elaborate jewellery, floral garlands and a magnificent peacock-feather crown, surrounded by attendants, flowers, foliage and a serene riverside landscape.
The composition has a particularly graceful Bengal devotional-art character, with delicate facial expressions, finely rendered ornaments and deep, atmospheric colours. The old printing surface and naturally aged paper give the work a strong period presence.
Most importantly, the lower margin retains its original printed title and publishing information, including:
Title: SHYAM-JALADHAR
Designed & Published by: S. C. Banerjee
Location: Sital-Manzil, Brindaban Pal Lane, Calcutta
Registered No. 62
Original Bengali text present beneath the artwork
“All rights strictly reserved by the Artist” printed on the lower margin
Product Description
This vintage Shyam-Jaladhar devotional print presents Lord Krishna as the divine flute player, standing gracefully beneath a tree in an idyllic landscape. His jewelled costume, peacock-feather crown and elaborate garlands create a striking focal point, while the surrounding figures, flowers and peacock enrich the narrative quality of the scene.
The combination of original publisher details, Bengali inscriptions and surviving registration number makes this more than a decorative religious image—it is also an interesting example of historic Calcutta devotional print culture.
Presented in an old wooden frame, the piece retains the natural signs of age expected from an authentic vintage artwork, including minor marks, toning and wear visible in the 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.
