Delhi Durbar, 1902: A Spectacular State Entry from the Jumma Masjid This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and pomp of the Delhi Durbar of 1902, an impressive display of British power and Indian tradition. The event took place on the grounds of the Delhi Fort in India, marking the coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra as Emperor and Empress of India. The image showcases the state entry, as the procession makes its way towards the Lal Qila, or Red Fort, from the Jumma Masjid, one of Delhi's oldest mosques. The procession is led by the Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon, riding on an elephant, followed by a dazzling array of horse-drawn carriages, soldiers, and dignitaries. The heat of the Indian summer is palpable, with the sun casting long shadows and the air thick with dust. The Delhi Durbar was a significant event in the history of the British Raj, symbolizing the British monarch's role as the Emperor of India and reinforcing the political, social, and cultural ties between India and Britain. The grandeur and pageantry of the event were intended to impress and inspire awe, and this photograph captures the essence of that moment in history.
