Bahram Gur in the White Pavilion, from the Khamsa of Nizami

The scene depicts a royal interior illuminated by a central white pavilion. Bahram Gur sits prominently on a raised platform, wearing a distinctive crown and white garments, while around him, several attendants in white turbans and tunics perform various tasks, including playing a harp and holding small dishes. The background features intricate wall patterns, a dark archway in the foreground, and hints of a garden visible through the side screens, all rendered in a flattened perspective characteristic of the Persian miniature tradition.

This scene represents the 'White Pavilion' episode from the 'Haft Paykar' (Seven Beauties) of the 12th-century Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi, where the king visits the princess of the white climate on Friday.
