This lithograph, published by Hemchander Bhargava, Delhi, illustrates key moments from the life of Swami Dayanand Saraswati, the founder of Arya Samaj. It begins with his birth and early devotion to Shiv Puja, followed by his deep study of Vedic scriptures, leading to his advocacy against caste discrimination and promotion of Vedic teachings.

At the center, depict his participation in the Kumbh Mela in 1924, where he fearlessly spread the message of truth and righteousness. His interactions with kings highlight his influence, and his compassion is evident when he forgives an assassin who poisoned him. His confrontation with Raja Karan Singh and his final meeting with his father at Sindhu Mela reflect his struggles and sacrifices.

The lithograph concludes with his last moments, as he lies on his deathbed, surrounded by grieving devotees, symbolizing his enduring legacy of truth, reform, and spirituality.
