The photograph shows a temporary station for the light railway constructed in the durbar area. The amphitheatre and the camps together made up a temporary city, which was more extensive than even the city of Delhi itself. Additional railway facilities had to be constructed to provide transportation for the thousands coming in from various parts of the country, as well as for conveying them from one venue to another.
