In 1955-56, this lacquer-coloured set was acquired as a good specimen of woodcarving for the erstwhile 'Winchester' Museum. In the year 1874, when this set was displayed in the Annual International Exhibition of All Fine Arts, Industries and Inventions, London, it fetched a Bronze Medal to Shri Karsandas Pitambar which is also on display.

This set of fifteen figures, known as 'Durbar of Rama', was prepared by a Surati craftsman about 175 years ago. From their dress and bodily features, Maratha style influence is clearly evident. Each of the figures is carved out of a single piece of wood. No nail is used. All figures are appropriately carved in small, medium and large sizes, so that they can be installed in front and behind the royal throne, in order to create a realistic illusion of an actual royal court. They are so well proportioned that all the figures look alive. The craftsman of this set has taken great care in depicting the minute details, even of teeth and dress. The entire set of fifteen figures is displayed according to the modern methods, against the background of Ayodhya so that the court of Rama is in dioramic display. Several other beautiful figures like an image of Saraswati riding on peacock, Dattatreya, Court-singers playing music to the accompaniment of tanpuras, a life-size Maharastrian couple etc. are also displayed in this museum at different places.
