EDITORS COMMENTS
The Viceregal House in New Delhi, a grand architectural masterpiece that once served as the official residence of the British Viceroy of India, stands proudly against the backdrop of the setting sun. At the heart of this historic building lies the Durbar Hall, an apartment adorned with unparalleled elegance and grandeur. The hall's magnificent dome, supported by columns of jasper blocks, casts a mesmerizing glow as it is floodlit against the twilight sky. The intricate pattern of porphyry and white marble underfoot adds to the opulence of this once-royal space. The Durbar Hall was the venue for various ceremonial and administrative functions during the British Raj. The Viceroy would sit on his throne, seated high above his subjects, to address them and deliver important announcements. The history of India's struggle for independence and the transition to self-rule is deeply intertwined with the walls of this grand hall. The Viceregal House, now known as Rashtrapati Bhavan, continues to be an important symbol of India's rich history and cultural heritage. Today, it serves as the official residence of the President of India, a testament to the country's democratic journey. The Durbar Hall remains a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all corners of the world who come to witness the grandeur of India's colonial past.
