The Delhi Durbar was held in 1877, 1903 and 1911, to mark the coronation of the King and Queen at mass assemblies at Coronation Park, Delhi. The only Delhi Durbar attended by George V was in 1911. The world's press covered the event and film footage was incredibly popular, at cinemas in India and at home.

A kinemacolour two-and-a-half hour film titled With Our King and Queen Through India first screened in February 1912, hailed as Charles Urban's greatest achievement.
