Maharaja Meeting with the British
Enter the East India Company. Bhim Singh receiving Sir Charles Metcalfe in the Mor Chowk (c.1826) is, at first glance, like the paintings that precede it. But look again and there are white-skinned British officials in uniform sitting stiffly at Bhim Singh’s feet, their legs crossed in half-lotus position. In another painting in the same series painted slightly later the British and Indians sit at the same level on Western chairs. Just as they did under the Mughals, the maharajas were beginning to adapt to the cultural norms of their foreign conquerors.
