EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, India, as we take a glimpse into the past through this photograph of the Charleville Hotel. Nestled amidst the lush greenery of the hill station, the grand colonial-era building stands proudly against the backdrop of the majestic Himalayan mountains. Built during the British Raj, the Charleville Hotel was a popular retreat for the British elite seeking respite from the sweltering heat of the plains. The image captures the hotel in its full glory, with its imposing facade adorned with intricate woodwork and tall, arched windows. The tennis court, with its pristine green net and well-manicured hedges, adds to the idyllic scene. The balcony of the hotel offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding hills, covered in a dense canopy of trees. The cool, crisp air of Mussoorie seems to waft through the photograph, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace. Roller shutters are drawn on some of the windows, suggesting that the day's heat has given way to a cool evening. The Charleville Hotel, with its tennis court, was a symbol of the British colonial influence in India during the early 1900s. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and elegance of the colonial era. The serene atmosphere of Mussoorie, with its lush greenery and crisp mountain air, continues to attract visitors to this day, making it a popular tourist destination in Uttarakhand.
