The sharp architectural lines populated by expressive figures is similar to a painting also attributed to Mandi and dated to circa 1810-20 in the Victoria and Albert Museum (W. G. Archer, Indian Paintings from the Punjab Hills, London, 1973, no.49, p.276). W. G. Archer cites that Sajnu was recorded as having been a painter at Kangra prior to moving to Mandi. He suggests that Sajnu's strong sense of geometry has its origins in his formative years in Kangra (W. G. Archer, op.cit., p. 361).
