He is the first Bengali to open an "Indian" (Hindustani) restaurant in an upper class area of London (Westminster) in 1810. His dress is that of contemporary upper middle class style in London at that time.

He is sporting formal white silk gloves as was in vogue at the time.

The plaque shown next to his picture exists in the spot where the restaurant existed until demolished some years later.
