This poster portrays Radha and Krishna in traditional attire, set in a serene forest. Radha playfully holds Krishna’s flute while he gently grasps her arm, trying to reclaim it—a moment that captures their divine bond, filled with love and mischief. The scene radiates romance and spirituality, reflecting the richness of Indian artistic traditions.

Anacin was introduced in 1916 by William Knights and gained popularity through its association with Heidbrink and Co. and effective marketing that featured cultural imagery. In 1930, Anacin was introduced by Geoffrey Manners, a Bombay-based under the Wyeth group. Which also manufactured Forhans toothpaste and Anacin tablets, was controlled by the U.S. multinational American Home Products (AHP).
