EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of athletic pursuit and social camaraderie at the Gymkhana in Pune, India, circa 1907. The Gymkhana, translating to 'a ball house' in Hindi, was a public place for athletic games and social gatherings. Located in the Nagar area of Pune, also known as Punawadi, this particular Gymkhana boasted several courts and arenas for various sports, including tennis, polo, and cricket. In this image, we see a lively scene of players engaged in a spirited tennis match. The men, dressed in colonial attire, focus intently on the game, their determined expressions a testament to their competitive spirit. The spectators, clad in crisp white linen, watch attentively from the sidelines, their faces reflecting a mix of excitement and anticipation. The open-air setting, with the sun casting long shadows on the ground, adds to the sense of tranquility and timelessness. The Gymkhana was an integral part of the social fabric of Pune, providing a platform for both the British colonial community and the Indian populace to come together and engage in healthy competition. The atmosphere was one of conviviality and sportsmanship, with the shared love for athletics transcending cultural and social boundaries. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the simple joy of play brought people together in a spirit of unity and camaraderie.
