A detail of the pagoda, "Humayun's garden party", 1550-1555. A line of seated guests at the party. A servant pours a drink, while a group of servants are carrying baskets of food. Temporarily ousted from his throne by rebellious forces, Humayun spent the years 1542-1545 in exile in Persia, as the guest of Safavid Shah Tahmasp, before reclaiming his imperial throne in 1555. Humayun's grandson, Emperor Jahangir, is thought to have ordered a repainting of the scene fifty years later, transforming it from a simple garden party to a grand assembly of rulers.
