The entire coastal area and cinnamon all districts remained in the hands of the East India Company, while Kandy was not to collude with other powers. As compensation, the king was a share of the profits promised to trade in elephants.

Falk, the Governor and head of the Council is seated on Heavily wrought a wooden chair or a special shape. The three Envoys from Kandy -Maha Mohottiyar Dodanvala Ralahamy and Muhandirams Iniyagama Ralahamy and Mideniya Ralahamy are shown with optional legged straight combs in Their Hair. The silver spit afternoons, one beside the Dutch Governor and the others on the table indicate That the custom of chewing betel was Widely accepted by the Dutch in Ceylon. In some cases the Europeans also partook in this activity and found quids of betel pleasant and enjoyable. It is quite evident from this painting of the Reception Hall of the Dutch Governor's Residence That Hardly any vestiges of the Dutch Colonial style of architecture or decoration survived after the British converted the House to a church.
