A man in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair stands in a whitewashed corridor with a red-and-cream painted border, looking at framed oil portraits on the wall. Behind him, men in white dhoti-style clothes with orange shawls stand nearby, one carrying a cloth bag. The large central painting shows a seated woman with a child and attendants against a mountain landscape, and the right-hand painting shows a man in a teal coat with a white turban, gold ornaments and a sword. A small gold-lettered plaque under the right portrait is readable.
