A detail of the pagoda, "Humayun's garden party", 1550-1555. Inside the pavilion, the original figures beside Humayun were repainted fifty years later as Jahangir, his father Akbar and his son, the future Shah Jahan. 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.
