Description
In this 16th-century illustration of the five poems of the medieval Indian poet Amir Khusraw Dihlavi, the princesses of the seven pavilions bow before the 5th-century Persian prince Bahram Gur. Through an edifying tale, each of them will lead Bahram on a journey from being a pleasure-seeking prince to a wise and just king. Gardens figure largely in the instructive stories told by the princesses as places where the hero learns an important lesson.
