The photo (picture) in the article seems like a fake (imaginary) scene, so it cannot be used as a proof for Easter celebrations in a Mughal court.

what's the meaning of writing "photo(picture)"? are you unable to decide whether the image posted by rashmun is a photograph or a painting?

Looks like the evidence is strong that it is a "picture". Akbar was scratching his balls with his foot and 2 cheetahs are getting ready to lick them.

Wading into medieval history, it is well known that the emperors Akbar and Jahangir took part in Christmas and Easter festivities, which included the burning of the effigy of Judas Iscariot, the disciple who betrayed Christ. The British had borrowed some customs from those times as practised by the early Armenian Christians of the Mughal Court like eating of the pascal lamb on Maundy Thursday and pre-dawn Easter visit to cemeteries. A procession carrying the life-size statue of the dead Christ on a bier was taken out on Good Friday from Akbar’s Church in Agra to the singing of dirges and the Lamentations of Prophet Jeremiah. After a round of the huge compound with incense sticks and candles burning around it, amidst a profusion of marigold garlands, the statue was returned with due ceremony to the exquisitely made church crypt for another year.

It depends what Rashmun likes to call this "evidence" in support of long ago Easter celebrations in a Mughal court , showing also a couple of cheetahs held loosely with tiny ropes supposedly taking part in the festivities.
