Re-enacted scene in the photo studio: The Maharaja listens as a message is read out to him. He sits on a chair and leans his body slightly forwards. The "ambassador" is sitting on the carpet, his feet pointing backwards, looking towards the Maharaja and holding a piece of paper in his hands. Standing and sitting around the Maharaja are 10 other men, all of whom are also wearing a turban. The man on the far right at the back is smiling in a friendly manner.
