While so far there is not a lot going on the Victorian period of India I took the chance to study characters in daily India from my current rather irrelevent books: [Sketchest of women/men in daily life of India]
There is also an 'Indian Dance' Calender I collected from another student house (my mother is a landlady, and the calender belonged to a student that has already left the country for good). This calender shows traditional dance, this would be useful as reference for posture, colour and fashion. Perhaps this is not was in the Victorian period, but perhaps it could be of some use for visual variance:
The Mughal Decoration book is of an Islamic India, and gives many interesting patterns. There isn't much to do with the Victorian period, so I took it upon myself to collect some patterns and pictures of ornaments that could be used in a Victorian Indian themed picture. I scanned and kept some of the patterns that would seem useful in texturing of photoshopping or just reference:
