EDITORS COMMENTS

Taken by renowned artist Mortimer L Menpes, this image transports us back to a significant event held during the height of British Empire. In this mesmerizing scene, we see a group of men gathered around two magnificent cannons adorned with gold and silver embellishments. The cannons stand as symbols of power and authority, reflecting the imperial ambitions of the time. As dusk settles over the landscape, creating a mystical atmosphere, these armaments become even more awe-inspiring. The presence of oxen nearby adds an intriguing element to the composition. Perhaps they were used to transport or showcase these majestic cannons during royal processions. The combination of man-made structures and nature's creatures creates a fascinating contrast within this historical moment. This photograph not only captures a specific event but also represents an era marked by imperialism and colonial rule. It serves as a reminder of India's complex history under British dominion while showcasing its rich cultural heritage.
