She certainly does look regal as befitting her title of Empress of India at that time. Thank you for sharing this interesting sculpture of history.:)
Great shot of the statue ;))
I saw a similar statue (I think) in front of Buckingham Palace in London.
Interesting to see another statue of Queen Victoria in another corner of the world. Did you see my dressed up Queen Vic statues in Sydney, a few weeks ago?
Sydney - City and Suburbs
a beautiful park well maintained
She looks quite regal.
It is certainly a nice statue of her, Rajesh. Like the people of India, Canadians were also subjects of the Empress, and I'm always interested in reading about her. Thanks for sharing your photos.

Beautiful statue!

Quite a royal take on the theme! beautiful statue of the queen.
Q is for...
She seems so entrenched in history - yet my grandma was born when Queen Victoria was alive.
Queen Victoria, lovely statue for Q day.
There must be so many statues of Victoria throughout the former Empire and even now in the Commonwealth.
Perfect choice for the letter Q. That statue has been there for a long time.
Vicki - of COURSE!

That's a very nice statue.
That's a young queen victoria. the one in Auckalnd is much older.
My Indian friend told me that at that time, the French was also interested in India, Is it true?
She always looks so "impmerial" lots of Statues of her are along the English coast.
Nice choice !
Ann: At that point India had lot of wealth. So, British, French, Portugese, Dutch, Persi, Greek ec., all were here then.
Beautiful sculpture of this Queen!
Very well done!

That's great to know the statue still exists! Nice one
What a well-travelled lady she is - I know she actually did go to France and Germany, but .. I wonder if she really did travel to your country?
interesting.
Beautiful statue. Great shots.
