English: Lord Hastings' party entering the city of Lucknow on elephant back
Lord Hastings and Nawab Ghazi al-Din enter Lucknow in state Watercolour of a procession entering Lucknow from 'Views by Seeta Ram from Cawnpore to Mohumdy Vol. IV' produced for Lord Moira, afterwards the Marquess of Hastings, by Sita Ram between 1814-15. Marquess of Hastings, the Governor-General of Bengal and the Commander-in-Chief (r.1813-23), was accompanied by artist Sita Ram (flourished c.1810-22) to illustrate his journey from Calcutta to Delhi between 1814-15. Lucknow, the capital for the Nawabs of Awadh, was visited by Lord Moira in 1814.
