The Kashmir Gate, located in Delhi, India, holds a significant place in history as it witnessed the dramatic events of the Indian Mutiny in 1857-58. On September 14, 1857, during the Storming of the Cashmir Gate, brave soldiers fought valiantly to capture this strategic gateway. A lithograph titled "Roberts in the Mutiny: His Last Sight of Nicholson at the Taking of Delhi" depicts General Roberts witnessing his comrade's heroic actions during this historic event. Another lithograph portrays Roberts narrowly escaping death at the siege of Delhi that same month. The image shows a young lieutenant being knocked over by a round shot in No 2 Battery before Delhi. These illustrations provide glimpses into the intense battles and dangers faced by those fighting for control over this crucial gate. An engraving titled "Blowing up of the Cashmere Gate at Delhi" showcases another pivotal moment when explosives were used to breach its defenses. This daring act allowed forces to enter and seize control of Delhi. Over time, various photographs captured different perspectives of Kashmir Gate's grandeur and historical significance. One photograph from around 1910 displays its majestic architecture while another from 1895 highlights its imposing presence within Delhi's landscape. Other images depict scenes such as "The Taking of Kashmir Gate" (1901) and "Capture of Cashmere Gate" (c1860), emphasizing how capturing this gateway was seen as a major achievement during these tumultuous times.
