Realistic as a high resolution colour photo ....great to see...

thats one climate-appropriate and funky t-shirt :)

Raja Tikait Rai was Nawab Asaf-ud-Daulah's Prime Minister. :)

The ever present huqqa

This Pagari or Turban looks very Maharashtrian or Rajputana. I think I agree with Achintya Nath Saxena this could be Raja Rikait Rai.

Yes; He doesn't look the Muslim, more so from the Muslim Royalty!

Tapan...do you like art and are you an artist??
