It's a checkmate in 7 moves. Black must be on move in the diagram otherwise there is no legal last move!

If this is not chess but shatranj, then White’s move is possible!

I said last move. If white is on move black must have played the last move but that is impossible. See article 3.10.3 in the FIDE handbook: https://old.fide.com/fide/handbook.html?id=208&view=article
