Pilgrims and Daily Life on the Steps of a Grand Mosque, Delhi, India — WWII-Era Travel Photograph
Local residents rest, socialize, and dry laundry on the steps of a grand mosque in India, believed to be the Jama Masjid in Old Delhi. Sites such as this were popular destinations for Allied servicemen on leave during World War II, when India served as a critical staging ground for the China-Burma-India theater of operations.
