Mumbai Heritage-Gate Way of India

 April 1931 farewell parade for retiring Viceroy Lord Irwin (later Lord Halifax) and Lady Irwin. British Indian Army units conducted an impressive ceremonial send-off with the Gateway prominently in the background.

Similar events occurred throughout the 1930s–1940s for other officials, including arrivals/reviews and the final British troop departures in 1948.
