Photograph of the ground on which the 1877 Delhi Durbar was held. In the centre stands the central dais, topped with a single crown. Skirting the dais and forming a semi-circle is the amphitheatre which held members of the Indian Nobility and European spectators. The canopy above the stands is decorated with trefoil designs and banners. Formations of troops populate the ground around the dais and a cannon stands in the background. A flag pole is in the foreground.
