You see a group of Indian soldiers sitting and standing in a row, with a British officer in the middle. The soldiers are dressed in uniform, and some have neatly trimmed beards and turbans. This detail is interesting because it shows the diversity of the battalion, which included Sikhs and other groups. Look up Raja Deen Dayal to learn more about the artist who took this photo.
