India's National Pavilion was a reproduction of the tomb of Prince Etmad-Dowlah at Agra, India. It occupied a site near the Philippine reservation, at the rear of the Forestry, Fish and Game Palace.
Description[edit | edit source]
Inside the pavilion were samples of tea, coffee and pepper. The interior furnishings were typical of East Indian life; many historic relics were on display.
Indian plant life was demonstrated in the gardens surrounding the tomb, specimens which have been brought from the old-time burial places of India's royalty.
Servers from India dispensed samples of tea in white robe-like garb.
Rising from the center of the court was a Jain temple of teakwood, being a copy of a white marble temple eight times as large at Palitana, Central India. The reproduction represented two years' work of sixty-five artists and was made expressly for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
After the Fair[edit | edit source]
After the exposition, the temple was dismantled, but was not shipped back to India as originally planned.
