This calendar for The Indo-Burma Petroleum Co. Ltd. showcases their premium range of mineral wax candles and night lights. The central image depicts Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, and the arts, playing a veena (a traditional Indian string instrument) while gracefully sitting on a peacock. Several candle brands are featured, including "Cock & Key," "Saraswati," "Elephant & Pagoda," and "Globelight," each with its own unique imagery.

"Steel Brothers & Co. Ltd., Rangoon & London" are listed as the managing and selling agents. Founded in 1909, IBP (Indo-Burma Petroleum) was created to distribute petroleum products and manufacture industrial explosives in Rangoon (now Yangon, Myanmar), with a distribution network that extended throughout India. In 1970, IBP became a subsidiary of Indian Oil Corporation Limited.
