Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Jai Ambe' (Hail Ambe), released in the year 1957.

The still is a photomontage of two images. The larger image on the left shows a palatial setting with six female characters. All of them are dressed in royal garb, with rich fabrics and ornate jewellery. In the centre, there is a female character seated on a low-level seating. She is the only one wearing a big crown and hence seems to be of a higher status than the rest. Two female characters are standing on either sides
and another female character is sitting near her feet. Two other characters are standing in the background towards the left. The second image shows Narad Muni (unidentified actor). He is dressed in a loin cloth, bare top-half, garland around the neck and a 'tambura' (Indian string instrument) is hanging around his neck.

In the border area, the logo of Mahesh Chitra (banner) is present on the top left corner. An illustration of Goddess Durga is present on the bottom left corner. On the bottom right corner, the credits are printed within a customised shape. From the top, first comes 'Mahesh Chitra', next line; 'Jai Ambe', next line; 'Digdarshak- Shanti Kumar'. All the credits are printed in Devnagri script.
