Two-part panorama taken from a high vantage point of a large number of Caucasian and possibly South Asian men, dressed in military uniforms at a military encampment. The men stand in distinct groups while carrying rifled muskets. Another group of men is visible in the center of the image, standing in a circle, facing inward, and playing musical instruments. Also visible in the background are a number of tents and large wooden buildings, possibly military barracks.
