The poster shows Haji Malang, a revered Sufi shrine nestled in the hills of Thane district, Maharashtra. Dedicated to Hazrat Haji Malang Baba, the shrine dates back to the 12th century. According to legend, he came from Arabia, befriended a local Brahmin family, and performed miracles such as creating a healing spring. For generations, Hindu trustees have cared for the shrine, which remains a symbol of unity between communities. The poster depicts Pilgrims travelling to the shrine by horse carts, cars, bullock carts, and buses. A road leading to the shrine is lined with houses and huts, while at the bottom, a traffic policeman is shown directing the flow of vehicles and people.
