Discuss King George V Memorial, on IndusLadies. King George V Memorial - Sub-Forum for Ladies from Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh. Delhi & NCR has a separate sub-forum..
Made of cream and pink stone, it is set in a rectangular pool with fountains and once contained an excellent marble statue of King George V by C.S. Jagger. However thanks to Indian politicians, who frequently break out into a rash of wanting to undo history or more aptly its reminders, the statue was dispatched to Delhi’s junkyard of history – the Coronation Memorial Park beyond Kings way camp.
The canopy of course stands and is decorated with sculpture and symbols of kingship.
The nautilus shells symbolize Britain’s maritime prowess – Britain was, after all, at one time the undisputed queen of the seas. The canopy is a pleasant counterpoint to the bulk of India Gate and you can frequently spot pigeons perching on it.
When We went there I was told to take some rice. But I did not know why until i came across those pigeons who are scarcely scared of anyone. Well nice experience.
