A Raja Receives Homage Outside the City: Page from a Dispersed Manuscript

The image depicts a scene of a man in orange robes sitting on a ledge outside a white and red building, with a group of people gathered below him. The man on the ledge is wearing an orange robe and a gold crown-like headpiece. He is sitting cross-legged with his hands raised. To the left of the man on the ledge, there is a group of people standing outside a small archway. One person is holding an umbrella over the group. A man on a brown horse and another on a gray donkey are positioned near the group. In the background, there are several white buildings with red trim and multiple domes and archways. The buildings are built into a hillside with sparse vegetation. The sky above is greenish-blue with a few clouds and some flowers and plants scattered throughout. The image appears to be a page from a manuscript, with rough edges and a beige background.
