Durbar held when the Tongsa Penlop was presented with the insignia of the K.C.I.E. [Punakha, Bhutan]. Photographer: White, John Claude
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Historical Events
View inside the durbar hall in the palace at Punakha. White's caption also supplies the following identifications of figures in the photograph: seated along left wall - Subadar Jahandad Khan (40th Pathans), A. W. Paul, Major Rennick, John Claude White; centre - Deb Raja, Head Abbot; right - Thimbu Jongpen, Tongsa Penlop, Ugyen Kazi (British Agent). The photograph is also used in 'The National Geographic Magazine' (Apr 1914, p. 406), where the caption draws attention to the altar covered with offerings of fruit, the dish of fruit in front of each official and 'the magnificent silk hangings and coverings'. The durbar is described in pp. 402-09 of the same article, which also includes another photograph of the durbar not included in this album. The durbar and surrounding circumstances are also described, in greater detail, in White's 'Sikhim and Bhutan' (1909), pp. 138-44. Duplicate at Photo 613 (15).
