EDITORS COMMENTS
Blighty Tea Rooms, Bangalore, Karnataka, India (circa 1910) This evocative photograph captures the Blighty Tea Rooms in Bangalore, Karnataka, India, during the early 1910s. The British colonial influence is palpable in this image, with the distinctive crenellated architecture of the building reflecting the military style prevalent during the British Raj. The large, stone structure, with its ornate detailing and intricate designs, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The horse-drawn carriage parked outside the tea rooms adds to the sense of history and tradition. The presence of a well-groomed dog in the carriage further emphasizes the colonial lifestyle that was popular among the British during their rule in India. The road leading up to the tea rooms is bustling with activity, with people and vehicles passing by, showcasing the vibrant culture and diversity of Bangalore. The Blighty Tea Rooms, named after the colloquial term used by British soldiers to refer to their homeland, was a popular catering establishment during the colonial era. It provided a taste of home for the British expats living in India, offering a respite from the tropical heat and the unfamiliar flavors of Indian cuisine. The tea rooms served a variety of dishes, including traditional British fare, and were known for their excellent tea, making them a favorite among the British community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and opulence, when the British Empire ruled over India, and the Blighty Tea Rooms in Bangalore stood as a symbol of British culture and tradition in the heart of India.
