This half of the page shows Akbar seated under a striped canopy. A river runs behind the crowd of soldiers and horses. The fort’s walls rise in the distance. The work is part of the Akbarnama, a book that tells Akbar’s life story. This scene marks a victory in 1565. The artist Miskina designed it, but Bhagwan painted the details here. Look up the right half of this scene at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
