EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Akalis Fanatical Devotee, 1903" by Mortimer L Menpes captures a significant moment in British India's history. The image is part of the series called "The Durbar" which provides a glimpse into the grand Imperial Durbar held in Delhi three times during the height of the British Empire. In this particular photograph, we see an intense and devout Akali devotee amidst a sea of people dressed in vibrant ceremonial costumes. The man's striking red turban and flowing blue robe immediately draw attention to his presence. With a long beard and fierce expression, he exudes an aura of religious fervor. The Durbar was not merely a royal event but also served as a symbol of imperial power and control over India. It marked the succession of an Emperor or Empress and brought together individuals from various backgrounds, religions, and regions within the country. Mortimer Menpes skillfully captures both the diversity and devotion present at this historic gathering through his lens. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich cultural tapestry that existed under British rule in India during the early 20th century. As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time to witness one man's unwavering faith amidst an era defined by imperialism and religious identity.
