On the Chilly but clear
morning of December 12,
1911, Delhiites made a
beeline for a maidan near
Burari to witness the
biggest Tamasha of British
Raj – THE DELHI
DURBAR.

This was the 3rd such Durbar in Delhi after 1877 and 1903.
But for the first time a reigning King attended the coronation Durbar.
However it is remembered for another historic event.
