Photographic lobby card/still for the Hindi film 'Babar' (proper noun), released in the year 1960.

The still shows two actresses (unidentified characters), Shubha Khote and possibly Azra. Both of them are sitting and looking at a parrot (present towards the bottom left corner). Shubha Khote is the one to the left wearing a dark garment and a necklace. She is leaning, taking the support on her right elbow while staring at the parrot. The female in the foreground is possibly Azra, wearing a light colored blouse, lehenga and
a sheer-fabric dupatta along with jewellery on her head (jhoomar), neck and ears. On the bottom border, towards the left, the production banner's name is hand-painted with a deep blue pigment reading 'FILMISTAN'S', next line; 'LATEST', next line; 'HIT'. In the central area, 'BABAR' is written and towards the extreme right, the name of the film is written in Kannada script.
