This calendar showcases Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom, music, and learning, standing gracefully on a rock, playing the veena. She is surrounded by a deer, a peacock, and a swan, symbolizing purity, beauty, and wisdom. A lotus delicately floats on the tranquil lake, enhancing the serene and divine ambiance of the artwork.

At the bottom left and right corners, packaging labels of various consumer products are displayed. Lever Brothers England first introduced Sunlight Soap bars to Calcutta in 1888, followed by Lifebuoy in 1895. Over the years, they expanded their product range with popular brands like Pears, Lux, and Vim. The iconic Dalda brand was launched in 1937, and Lever Brothers India Limited was officially established in 1933, marking a significant milestone in the Indian consumer goods industry.
