The Durbar of 1911 had special significance, being the first occasion on which the British monarch was actually present to adopt the imperial title. This photograph shows the panoramic view of the main dais, the amphitheatre and stands built for the spectators. The Daily Telegrah reported: ‘The Imperial gathering which will follow at Delhi … will, for the first time, centre round the actual personality of the successor of Shah Jehan and Aurungzebe.’
