15th August 1947, Delhi









Got forwarded these photographs. They're apparently of Indias first Independence day on 15th August 1947. My apologies to the anonymous photographer. I thought them rather fantastic hence im posting these here. I love the mood of the pictures somehow. The people milling in and around Rashtrapati Bhavan like that is impossible now. There does seem to be an environment of celebration...and isnt it so nice that even with so many people around.. the grounds seem wonderfully clean.
