Lord Moira (later the Marquess of Hastings) began his progress at Barrackpore near Calcutta (Kolkata) on 28 June 1814 and reached the holy city of Hardwar on the Ganges on 24 December. Then, having travelled as far as Meerut, he returned to Calcutta on 9 October 1815. The painting shows Lady Moira riding on the state elephant while her husband takes part in a tiger hunt. Lord Moira’s camp can be seen in the distance near Hardwar. As Governor General, he undertook two long tours of inspection, from 1814 to 1815, and 1817 to 1818.
