View of a row of buildings facing an open field and one of the arched gateways to the Raj Bhavan, previously known as Government House, along a wide thoroughfare. The archway is topped with a statue of a lion, flanked with minor gateways that are in turn topped with the statue of sphinxes. Four of the buildings prominently display signages on their exteriors: (from left to right) "Great Eastern Hotel," "Outfitters," "Harman & Co," and "J.G. Hanhart." Some people can be seen around the area.
