A gold-framed, oval embossed postcard by a prolific publisher was part of the many types of postcards used by publishers to keep the market satisfied with new fashions and types.

According to Murrays Handbook for India Burma & Ceylon "At 11 m. [miles] from Dalhousie, 9 m. from Chamba, is the 'Marg,' or green open space of the hamlet of Khajiar (6400 ft., D.B. and R.H.), a circle of green sward having a perimeter of 1 m., with a lake in the middle, in the midst of cedar forests, under the slopes of Dain Kund (9160 ft.), from the summit of which a semi-circle of snow-capped heights is to be seen" (1938, p. 341).
