Photography Through The Empire’s Lens: Lala Deen Dayal

October 9, 2025 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
Free

Whether you are a history enthusiast, art lover or simply curious about the past, this engaging talk invites you to explore late-nineteenth century India through the powerful and poetic lens of Lala Deen Dayal – one of the most renowned photographers of the colonial era.

From portraits of Indian royals and British officials to sweeping view of architectural landmarks, Dayal’s photographs offer a fascinating glimpse into a complex time cultural exchange and imperial influence. Through these remarkable images, you’ll discover how photography served not just as a means of documentation, but also as a reflection of identity, power and storytelling in colonial India.

Presented by Royal Ontario Museum (ROM)
