Indian Merchants and Court Ministers

Indian merchants and court ministers fill Pankot Palace's elite gatherings with displays of wealth and status. As affluent traders and high officials, they mingle among guests in opulent venues like the Pleasure Pavilion, navigating interactions with British officers, palace prime ministers, and visitors. Loyal to the Maharajah's court, they project refinement amid colonial tensions and hidden cult influences, their quiet presence reinforcing the princely state's blend of commerce, politics, and tradition.
