The state entry procession, with the emperor on horseback and the empress in a carriage, goes past the Jama Masjid.
‘The façade of the building, which appeared to be the summit of a great human pyramid, was garlanded in golden writing, “Long live our Emperor and Empress. Loyal greetings of the Musalman community in India”. Its noble flights of steps were occupied mainly by students from Muhammadan schools and colleges, who thus had the best position along the whole route.’ – The Historical Record of the Imperial Visit to India1911
