A place that once saw grand Darbars
Every ruler loves to gloat over his achievement. And since time immemorial he has erected structures, given them fancy names and expected time will remember him. Time unfortunately waits for none, cares for none. However, it is for us as human beings to remember the vagaries of history as an era gone by and maintain monuments and structures that are past their glory. One such a monument is the Coronation Park in North Delhi. The place gets its name from the events it saw through the last two centuries. The Coronation Park, as it stands today, has seen three Coronation Darbars -- 1877, 1903, and 1911. All the three darbar’s were grand events organised to honour the crowning ceremonies of the rulers of England in the respective years. <br><br>
The park covers approximately 50 acres. It is approached from the Nirankari Sarovar road near Kingsway camp and is sometimes also referred to as the Coronation Memorial. The grandest of the three darbars was the one held in 1903. It was personally organised by Lord Curzon to celebrate the coronation of King Edward VII. It is said that the king was to be present personally but unfortunately sent his representatives. The venue was then used as the coronation darbar for the celebration of the coronation of his son George V in 1911. King George V was the only British Emperor of India who was physically present at the darbar to celebrate his coronation as the King of United Kingdom and the Emperor of India. At the coronation he wore the Imperial crown of India, which was created especially for the occasion. <br><br>
Despite name such as the Coronation Park, there are no park-like attributes apart from a large area that has been demarcated by an enclosure. As you approach the main entrance you are awed by the sheer size of the area. Once you are infront of the gate the look of the sandstone Obelisk takes your breath away. The Obelisk stands in the centre of a stepped square plinth marking for us the exact location of all the three coronation darbars. The words inscribed on a black marble slab on the obelisk stand evidence to the third and final darbar: <br><br>
“Here on the 12th Day of December 1911, His Imperial Majesty King George V, Emperor of India, accompanied by the Queen Empress in solemn Darbar announced in person to the Governors, Princes and Peoples of India his Coronation celebrated in England on the 22nd day of June 1911 and received from them their dutiful homage and allegiance.” <br><br>
On the left of the Obelisk is a smaller enclosure with a high red sandstone enclosure wall and a huge iron gate, which has some of the most breathtaking marble statues of the British in India. The most majestic of them all is that of King George V, at the centre of the enclosure that once graced the India Gate structure. It was constructed for the canopy in front of the India Gate, which is why an illusion of a tall and grand ruler was created through this as the King was not a tall man in reality. To give him a mighty look, his statue was made on a high marble plinth, which would give him an illusion of height. His statue was then covered in a marble cloak to complete the picture. <br><br>
When you stand in front of it and look up you realise that the actual length of the body is not as much as one would imagine. But when you stand behind it and look up you would understand the illusion that the cape/robe creates of him being a tall emperor. After independence, the statue was removed to make way for a statue of Mahatama Gandhi, which unfortunately still hasn’t made its way to the canopy! The enclosure also houses some other statues and busts that haven’t been lucky enough to find a better location. <br><br>
The entire Coronation Park has a sense of eeriness to it but at the smaller enclosure it reaches an all new level. There are four full-size statues and three busts all carved in white marble and showing excellent craftsmanship but are unfortunately lying uncared for. All statues are placed on high red sandstone plinths, some of which are lying empty, their statues stolen, while some are still waiting for one. The Coronation Park is an important part of our history and there should be urgent measures to conserve the site lest our coming generations look askance at us about this piece of history and its even richer craftsmanship.

how do I sew a sheer fabric, round top, bed canopy? how much material to buy?
If the fabric is very sheer, like voile, you best put TAPE (any kind) on the seam where you sew. Also use the smallest needle you can find for your sewing machine and make the stitch about 2.5 on the sewing machine. The tape will help the fabric from not pulling or running and the small needle will make tinyer holes in the fabric.
You should measure the width and length of your canopy - fabric usually comes in 32" wide or 45" wide. You will have seams so decide where you want the seams to be. On the frame of the canopy would be best but you will still have a seam in the middle either lengthwise or widthwise. Measure the square footage of what you need and buy accordingly.
If the fabric has nap then you must make all the fabric run the same direction ~ no turning sideways or reverse. Be sure when you sew pieces together they run the same way (as they were on the bolt of fabric).
I'd make a guestimate of how much fabric = 8 yards of 32" wide and 7 yards of 45" wide (if you are going to have about a foot hanging down from the frame of the canopy. I did not account for it being gathered for ruffles so you'ld have to increase yardage for that.
Good luck. I'm sure it will turn out fabulous.
