The Viceroy of India, Lord Irwin, and his wife, Lady Irwin, can be seen watching the festivities from the projecting balcony on the left center of the image. The Red Fort, a magnificent 17th-century Mughal monument, served as the picturesque backdrop for this grand pageant of Indian transport. The People's Fete was an opportunity for the people of Delhi to come together and celebrate the arrival of New Delhi, the new capital city of British India.
