The Durbar at Lucknow: return visit of the Governor-General to the Rajah of Kapoorthulla - presentation of gifts, 1868. Engraving from a drawing by Mr. R. Clint. '...his Highness the Rajah of Kuppoorthulla, premier talookdar of Oude, and Grand Cross of the Star of India; had visited the Viceroy, in private durbar, about two hours before. Sir John Lawrence, in going to the Badshah Bagh, the palace occupied by the Rajah of Kuppoorthulla, was accompanied by the Foreign Secretary, the Chief Commissioner of Oude, and a numerous Staff, and conducted by four of the Rajah's principal relatives and sirdars, from the Chief Commissioner's residence. On arriving at the Badshah Bagh, he was received with a salute fired by the Rajah's military guard, including a battery of guns. The Rajah met Sir John Lawrence as he alighted from his carriage, and led him into the palace, where the whole party took their seats, the Governor-General sitting on the right hand of the Rajah, and the Chief Commissioner on his left. After a short conversation, the Rajah presented costly gifts to his Excellency, and served him with "attar and pawn," in the usual form of Indian Court ceremony. The Viceroy then took his leave with the same degree of state'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
