The occasion celebrated the formal coronation of King George V and Queen Mary, solidifying their rule over the Indian subcontinent. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural diversity of India during the early 20th century. The temporary camp of the Nawab of Bahawalpur stands as a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the era, with its impressive gateway and sprawling tents. The image serves as a reminder of the historical significance of the Coronation Delhi Durbar and the role of the princely states in Indian history.
