They depict specific historical scenes such as the infamous
Battle of Chaldiran against the Ottoman Sultan Selim I, the reception of an Uzbek
King in 1646, when the palace had just been completed; the welcome extended to the
Mughal Emperor, Humayun who took refuge in Iran in 1544; the battle of Taher-Abad
in 1510 where the Safavid Shah Ismail I vanquished and killed the Uzbek King. A
more recent painting depicts Nader Shah's victory against the Indian Army at
Karnal in 1739. There are also less historical, but even more aesthetic
compositions in the traditional miniature style which celebrate the joy of life
and love.
