Chikka Galli, Murree - A Glimpse into British India's Hill Station Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vintage print captures the essence of Chikka Galli, a picturesque village nestled in the hills of Murree during the early to mid-20th century. The creator remains unknown, but their lens beautifully portrays life in this charming corner of British India. The image showcases an idyllic avenue lined with lush woodlands and quaint cabins that dot the hillside. Local men can be seen strolling along the road, adding a touch of authenticity to this snapshot from history. Horses graze peacefully nearby, reminding us of their significance as a mode of transportation during those times. Chikka Galli served as a popular resort for both locals and expatriates seeking respite from the scorching plains below. Its serene ambiance and cool mountain air made it an ideal retreat amidst imperialist rule. As we gaze upon this postcard-like scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when Pakistan was still part of undivided India. This photograph not only offers glimpses into daily life but also serves as a testament to the geographical beauty that attracted visitors from far and wide. Preserved by The Print Collector through its collection of historic postcards, this image allows us to appreciate Chikka Galli's rich heritage while honoring its place within Punjab's cultural tapestry.
