The poster portrays Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati seated on a rock throne at Mount Kailash, with Baby Ganesha in Parvati’s lap and Nandi, the sacred bull, nearby. This imagery embodies themes of divinity, family, and devotion in Hindu culture.
Caltex, originally established as the California Texas Oil Company on June 30, 1936, commenced its operations in India in 1937. On February 20, 1953, preliminary work began on an oil refinery in Visakhapatnam, as reported by the Indian Daily Mail. The refinery was officially commissioned in 1957 with an initial capacity of 0.675 million tonnes per year. In 1976, the Government of India acquired Caltex Oil Refining (India) Ltd., and by 1978, it was merged into Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL).
