Occasionally we feel compelled to offer posters that are outside of our area of expertise yet compelling to those who collect psychedelic posters.. In this case we find that the posters from the Eden Hashish Centre to be truly original scarce and valuable. The Eden Hashish Center operated in Katmandu Nepal from the 1960’s till 1973 when they were shut down by the Nepalese government due to pressure from the Nixon administration. Until then cannabis products were sold legally by licensed shops much like the Netherlands. The centre created a run of posters that featured various Hindu deities as well as other enlightened beings. These images are both mystifying and beautiful. They utilized modern printing techniques that had previously been scarce in that part of the world. As with 1960's concert posters we believe that these posters are incredibly underappreciated and undervalued. The consigner of this poster lived and worked in Katmandu for several years and was able to preserve an impressive collection of these scarce and beautiful posters. If there is significant interest in this lot there will be more offerings in the future.
This poster is a representation of Shiva Shiva is a major deity and considered the most powerful god in Hinduism.
