EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Changing of the Guard at the Viceroys House: A Historical Tradition in New Delhi" 2. Description: This photograph depicts a significant moment in the rich history of India's capital city, New Delhi. In the foreground, a line of smartly-uniformed Gordon Highlanders soldiers can be seen marching away from the Viceroys House, having been relieved during the Changing of the Guard ceremony. The Viceroys House, now known as the Rashtrapati Bhavan, served as the official residence of the British Viceroy of India from 1912 until India's independence in 1947. 3. Context: New Delhi, India's capital city, was inaugurated on February 13, 1931, marking the shift of the British colonial administration from Calcutta to Delhi. The Changing of the Guard ceremony was an essential part of the daily life at the Viceroys House, reflecting the grandeur and tradition of the British Raj. The Gordon Highlanders, a renowned Scottish infantry regiment, were one of the many regiments that provided the guard of honor during this ceremony. 4. Historical Significance: This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and tradition of the British Raj in India. The Changing of the Guard ceremony was a symbol of the British presence and power in India, and the Gordon Highlanders, with their distinctive tartans and bagpipes, were a potent reminder of Scotland's connection to the Indian subcontinent. Today, this historical tradition continues at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, with the President's Body Guard taking over the duties from the ceremonial guards. 5. Conclusion: This photograph captures a moment in time, offering a unique perspective into India's history and the British Raj. The Changing of the Guard ceremony at the Viceroys House is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and traditions that continue to shape India's capital city, New Delhi.
