The astrologer, with his intricate tools and celestial charts spread before him, is deeply engrossed in his work, oblivious to the hustle and bustle around him. The stakes are high, as the outcome of the impending battle could significantly impact the fortunes of his master and the Sikh community. Astrology held a profound influence on military decision-making in India during this period.

The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, highlighting the intricate interplay between the paranormal and the political. It underscores the importance of astrology in shaping military strategy and the significant role that astrologers played as trusted advisors to rulers in 19th century India. As the astrologer continues his calculations, the weight of history rests on his shoulders, and the outcome of the battle hangs in the balance, waiting for the right moment to unfold.
