This photograph captures the grandeur and majesty of the Delhi Coronation Durbar as King Emperor George V and Queen Mary make their state entry through the Kings Gate on December 12, 1911. The Durbar, a ceremonial assembly of the monarch and his subjects, marked the formal coronation of King George V as the Emperor of India. The image showcases the King and Queen riding elegantly on horseback, dressed in their regal attire, as they are greeted by an array of statues and ornate architectural structures. The scene is further enriched by the presence of majestic elephants adorned with intricate decorations, adding to the grandeur of the occasion.

The soldiers, dressed in their ceremonial uniforms, add to the regal atmosphere of the occasion. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of the Delhi Coronation Durbar, an event that marked a pivotal moment in the history of India and the British Empire.
