SHIMLA: Another age, another time

An artist’s impressions of  Elysium Hill and Auckland House (1850) Combermere Bridge (1835) showing a jampan crossing it.
Shimla’s reputation as a place for pleasure-seekers took birth almost with the foundation of the town itself. "The presence of unattached ladies, bachelors, flirts, match-makers gave to Simla its early reputation.... Early evenings on the Mall, was the customary place for building acquaintances.... Eligibles... socially desirables... all were on the Mall." A nostalgic journey by Raghuvendra Tanwar
