[Ceremonial barge at the Government House garden party, Mandalay.] Photographer: Ahuja, D.A.
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Historical Events
View of the interior of the ceremonial barge: 'a magnificent example of Burmese workmanship built in the style of a Kalawait Paung...a bird of good omen. The barge was beautifully decorated with gold tinsel, and inside it were gay curtains and dainty chairs, whilst for Their Excellencies two golden thrones had been provided. The roof of the barge, also done in gold, resembled the dome of a pagoda, and altogether it was a thing of beauty' (unidentified newspaper clipping in Photo 10/27 p.59). The barge was towed by boats around the Government House moat during the party. The barge had previously been used to entertain the Prince of Wales when he visited Burma in January 1922 (see Photo 10/1).
