You see a large group of people in traditional Indian clothing standing in front of a building. The young Maharaja Scindia is just right of center. The people are wearing distinctive angled turbans, which show Gwalior's historical connection to the Marathas. This connection is interesting because it shows the region's complex history. Check out the work of Raja Deen Dayal to see more photos of Indian life during this time.
