The card shows a the outside view of King Gangadhar's palace. In the frame, King Gangadhar (Mubarak) and Queen Jhansi (Mehtab) are standing in a balcony like area at the entrance, overlooking their soldiers stationed outside in a queue along with the Compny's soldiers marching onto the path that leads the way inside the palace's doors. There are more soldiers at the main entrance to the palace along with a decorated war elephant guarding the entrance as well. Starting from the lower half of the left border, a series of illustrations continues till the left half of the bottom border, leading the way towards the credits. On the left border, from top to bottom, first comes an illustration of possibly King Gangadhar's palace/court from the outside, overlapping with that is an illustration of the character Rajguru, played by Sohrab Modi. There is a small sized logo of Minerva Production on the bottom left corner.

The illustration continues onto the bottom border, with a book, an army and finally Queen Jhansi mounted on a horse. Next to the illustration of the queen is the name 'Jhansi Ki Rani' (English) and under it is 'Color by TECHNICOLOR'. Under this, a little towards the right is the film's name in Devanagari script and then in Urdu script in the next line, shifiting a little further to the right. In the last line on the bottom is 'PRODUCED & DIRECTED BY SOHRAB MODI'." All the illustrations and credits are printed in a deep red/brown pigment.
