National Youth Day posters: Swami Vivekananda, his call to the young, Chicago 1893

Posters for National Youth Day on 12 January, the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. They suit school and college assemblies. The three readings are Vivekananda in a saffron turban and robe with his arms folded, a young person on a hilltop facing the sunrise under his call to awake, and Vivekananda in silhouette at a lectern before his address in Chicago in 1893. Type a twist, such as in Bengali, to ask for a version of it.

Frequently asked questions

What date is National Youth Day?

12 January, the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda.

What is the Chicago reading?

It shows Vivekananda at the lectern for his address at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893, with the words Sisters and Brothers of America.

How do the three styles differ?

Vintage print is a mid-century screen-printed look with visible grain, flat vector uses clean shapes, and poster paint looks like a hand-painted school chart.

Are these photographs?

No. Each one is a drawn illustration, and Vivekananda is drawn with dignity.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
