EDITORS COMMENTS
"Majestic Government Buildings on the Brink of an Official Inauguration in New Delhi, India This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of the twin secretariat buildings in New Delhi, India, as they prepare for their official inauguration. The red structures, which make up the lower portion of each building, face each other across the Kings Way, an impressive avenue leading to the Viceroys house, now known as the Rashtrapati Bhavan, hidden behind them in this view. Each secretariat boasts a slender white tower and a renaissance dome, reminiscent of those found in St. Peter's and St. Paul's basilicas in Rome. The architectural masterpiece is a testament to the fusion of Indian and Western architectural styles, designed by the renowned British architect, Edwin Lutyens, in the early 20th century. In the right background, the circular Council House with its surrounding colonnade stands proudly. This iconic building, which once housed the Legislative Assembly and the Secretariat, is an essential component of Lutyens' grand design for New Delhi, which was established as the capital city of India in 1911. The photograph not only showcases the historical significance and architectural brilliance of these government buildings but also transports us back in time to the colonial era when India was under British rule. The image is a must-have for anyone interested in Indian history, architecture, or the evolution of New Delhi as the capital city." (Word count: 250)
