An extraordinary auction held in Scotland saw the sale of a rare book featuring 56 portraits of Mughal rulers, originally published in Delhi. This remarkable volume, which presents visual interpretations of royal figures, was anticipated to bring in £500 to £800 but astonishingly fetched £16,640. This highlights the growing interest in India's royal history, despite some issues regarding the book's condition.
