Newsome designed many posters advertising travel to India, illustrating combinations of local scenes with famous landmarks and local people. Here, for a small West Bengali town, she depicts one of the town's major structures, the Mazar of Pir Ghazi Mubarak Ali Sahab. It is a shrine in honor of a holy man whose intense meditation brought an end to a severe drought in the 17th century. This is the Bengali version.
