In "Jahangir Preferring a Sufi Sheikh to Kings, " Bichitr's masterpiece reveals the emperor's appreciation for spiritual wisdom over worldly power. Witnessing moments in British monarchy intertwined with imperial rule, we encounter His Majesty King George VI in Captain P North's portrait from 1936.

Traveling back further in time, we find ourselves amidst King George V's tiger shoot lunch in Chitwan Valley during 1911.
