| Additional information |
Issued to mark the birth centenary of Nirmala Srivastava — founder of Sahaja Yoga, born in Chhindwara in 1923 — this coin arrives as one of several commemoratives in India's long-running series honoring religious and spiritual figures. The Government of India has issued commemoratives for figures ranging from Sikh Gurus to Sufi saints, and Srivastava's inclusion reflects both the movement's considerable domestic following and the political calculus behind such decisions.
The .500 fine quaternary alloy is standard for modern Indian commemorative silver — a composition adopted to manage cost at scale.
