This vintage framed calendar print depicting the Hindu deities Lakshmi standing on a lotus, Saraswati playing a musical instrument with a swan, and Ganesha seated. Together they form a divine trifecta invoked for prosperity (Lakshmi), knowledge and wisdom (Saraswati), and auspicious beginnings and the removal of obstacles (Ganesha).

Devotional calendar art emerged in India in the late 19th century when pioneers like Raja Ravi Varma adapted religious imagery to mass-produced lithography, making affordable, colourful prints of the gods that hung in homes and shops and became a beloved fixture of everyday worship well into the 20th century.

The frame is original red-brown, and has some decorative detailing on the inner edge.
