This lithograph, titled "Duldul," published by Hemchander Bhargava, depicts the noble horse Duldul standing in a desert landscape, adorned with a decorated feathered ornament, a royal drapery covering its back inscribed with Urdu verses, and a royal umbrella providing shade to a hand placed on its back, symbolizing a revered rider.
In Islamic tradition, Duldul was a white mule gifted to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by Al-Muqawqis, the ruler of Egypt, in 628 CE. She was known for her strength, loyalty, and service, carrying the Prophet in several military campaigns. Later, Duldul became associated with Imam Ali, symbolizing bravery and faith.
