The Colonial Exhibition, Indian Section: A Glimpse into the Durbar Tent in the Indian Palace, 1886 This striking photograph, taken from "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," Volume 33, January to June, 1886, captures the grandeur and intrigue of the Durbar Tent in the Indian Palace during the Colonial Exhibition held in South Kensington, London, England, in 1886. The exact creator of this image remains unknown, adding to its historical allure. The Colonial Exhibition was a significant event in the Victorian era, showcasing the wealth and power of the British Empire. The Indian Section, as depicted in this photograph, offered visitors a glimpse into the exotic and mysterious land of Hindoostan (India). The Durbar Tent, with its ornate decorations and grand interior, was a symbol of the British Raj's authority and influence over India. The photograph reveals a bustling scene inside the tent, with visitors, both British and Indian, gathered around the Durbar Throne. The British officials, dressed in their formal attire, preside over the scene, while the Indian attendees wear traditional clothing and headdresses.

The Durbar Tent served as a platform for the British to display their power and influence over India, while also providing a space for the Indian visitors to showcase their unique customs and traditions. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the colonial past, providing a window into the complex and intriguing relationship between Britain and India during the Victorian era.
