Dancing Hall in the Palace of Raja #TirumalaNayak #Madurai
Painting done in early 1840s. The sketching and painting involved a collaborative effort. between Lieutenants Thomas Askwith Jenkins of the 33rd Madras Native Infantry was the commanding officer of the troops involved in the Pamban Passage project, clearing a new shipping channel between the coast of Madras and Sri Lanka. He was stationed at Pamban along with William Walter Whelpdale of the 19th Madras Native Infantry from 1838. Then Whelpdale died in 1842. Ravanat Naik was most likely a Naik working with them in the Infantry, someone working as a draughtsman on the Pamban Passage clearance.
