EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1931, offers an unusual perspective of New Delhi's iconic Two Foundations and the South Waterway on the eve of its inauguration as the capital city of India. The image showcases the two ornate fountains, their water cascading gracefully into the South Waterway, which runs parallel to the Kings Way in the left background. The war memorial arch, standing proudly at the far end, adds a poignant touch to the scene. New Delhi, designed and built as the capital city of India by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Hebert Baker, was inaugurated on February 13, 1931. The city was a symbol of British power and grandeur, and the Two Foundations and the South Waterway were among its most striking features. The Two Foundations, also known as the Bahadur Shah Zafar Memorial, were built to commemorate the last Mughal Emperor of India. The South Waterway, on the other hand, was designed to provide a scenic route for the British Viceroys to travel from their residence, the Viceregal Lodge, to the Vijay Chowk, the central square of New Delhi. The aerial view of this photograph offers a unique perspective of these historical landmarks, allowing us to appreciate their grandeur and significance in the context of New Delhi's rich history. The image also serves as a reminder of the city's past, as it stands today as a vibrant and bustling metropolis, a testament to the enduring legacy of its colonial past.
