    • Already a FP at a featured picture on Wikimedia Commons (passed with 6 support, 0 oppose, 0 neutral) and on the Turkish Wikipedia
    • Nothing similar to this genre in current FPs
    • Rather strange image as it is a depiction of the great climax war of the Hindu epic Ramayana (there are only 2 Hindu epics) by a Muslim artist Sahibdin from the Mewar school of Rajput painting
