Talk about an over abundance of weapons!!

A painting of a native soldier from north-western India, possibly a Sikh, carrying 3 firearms, an axe, sword, possibly 2 daggers and a shield.

Thank you. As I understand it, their arms were like the Mameluke. Sword is definitely Yatagan. But what about the history / organization of these guards?
