Museum of Art & Photography
Bangalore, India
Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Poonam' (Moonlight), released in the year 1952.
The image shows Chanda (Kamini Kaushal) sitting on some steps, leaning her back against a marble pillar. She has taken off her sandals that are lying beside her. Behind her are a few more marble pillars that look European, and in front of her is a European statue (possibly marble) of a female with a cloth loosely clinging against her body. In the background we can see far into the distance where there are a couple of mountains.
Bottom right has text that reads (from top to bottom) 'KAY ARTS' (their logo), 'poonam', 'Shangri-la', 'Poonam' (in Devanagari), followed by 'DIRECTED BY :- M. SADIQ', 'MUSIC BY :- SHANKER JAIKISHAN', 'PRODUCED BY :- P. N. ARORA'.
