Vivid prints of divinities are part of daily life for Hindus in India and around the world, used for worship in homes, factories, and offices, as well as for adornment on cars, calendars, computers, and shop counters. With the technology of lithography, depictions of Hindu gods became more realistic, colorful, and accessible than ever before. An example is seen on this mug.
