Coronation Park (Delhi, India)

Coronation Park (Delhi, India)

Coronation Park is a park in Delhi, India where the Durbar of 1911 took place, which commemorated the coronation of King George V as Emperor of India. A large stone obelisk with a plaque stands on a raised stone platform in the center of the park to mark the spot of the Durbar.

Following independence, many statues of former British officials were moved onto pedestals in this park. The largest of these statues is the Statue of King George V, which had stood under the now-vacant canopy in front of the India Gate. Approximately half of the 19 pedestals are empty.
