LONDON, February 1,
The King gave an audience to the Marquess of Zetland, Secretary of State for India and.Burma, and it is understood that the Coronation Durbar at Delhi was discussed. The Marquess of Zetland will report to Cabinet tomorrow and an announcement is likely in a few days.
A durbar is the term applied in India to a court or levee. It may be either a council for the administration of affairs of State or a great ceremonial gathering. In the latter sense it has come to be applied to great ceremonial gatherings, like Lcrd Lytton's durbar for the proclamation of the Queen-Empress in India in 1877, or the Delhi Durbar of 1911, when the King-Emperor was proclaimed.
