Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Bhakta Prahlad' (Devotee Prahlad), possibly released in the year 1946.

The image shows a scene in a royal court. In between the two sides populated with numerous people wearing crowns, and some holding Trishuls, we see a young boy and a girl on the left, and the king on the right. The boy has his palms together and is looking upward, suggesting he is praying, and the girl is looking at him and holding his arm. The king is pointing to his right and has a Gadda with spikes on it in his left hand. There appears to be an air of tension in the scene.

Bottom has text that reads 'VISHNU PICTURE' in English and 'Vishnu Chitra' in Devanagari on the left side, and 'Bhakta PRAHLAD' in English and in Devanagari on the right.
