Flag Staff Tower






Located in the northern ridge of Delhi, the flag staff tower is an important signpost of colonial times. The structure occupies crucial place in the history of 1857 and Delhi. Here are few images of the 'monument'. The first two images are from Jim Masselos and Narayani Gupta ( ed.), "Beato's Delhi 1857,1997", Ravi Dayal Publisher, Delhi,2000, p.25. The other three images( taken by me) are from 2004 when metro rail contruction work was under progress. The traffic was diverted in and through the northern ridge.
