Amphi Theatre Canopy Coronation Delhi Domed Durbar Pavilion
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in Indian history: the Coronation Durbar of King George V at the iconic Amphitheatre in Delhi on December 12, 1911. The King, dressed in regal attire, sits under a magnificent canopied pavilion, flanked by British military personnel and Indian princes. The domed structure of the Amphitheatre, with its intricate carvings and arches, provides a stunning backdrop to the scene. The Coronation Durbar was an elaborate ceremony held to mark the formal coronation of King George V as the Emperor of India. The event was a grand display of British power and authority in India, attended by thousands of people, including Indian rulers, British officials, and commoners. The King's pavilion, known as the King George V Pavilion, was designed to impress and symbolize the might of the British Raj. The canopy, adorned with gold and silver, was carried by elephants during the procession to the Amphitheatre. The Pavilion's grandeur reflects the grandeur of the British Empire at its zenith. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when India was under British rule. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity of India and the significant role it played in shaping the world as we know it today.
