Coronation Durbar Site

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:23:20

In a desolate field, around 10km north of Old Delhi, a lone obelisk marks the site where King George V was declared emperor of India in 1911, and where the great durbars (fairs) were held to honour India’s British overlords in 1877 and 1903. Take an autorickshaw from Model Town metro station.
