Distinguished Visitors
For over nine decades, Governors, Prime Ministers, Chief Ministers and Union Ministers have taken the Chamber's stage. These photographs record those moments.
From the Annual General Meetings of the 1940s, when the Governor of the United Provinces was the chief guest, to the Silver Jubilee that Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru came to inaugurate, the Chamber has long been a meeting point between the business community and the highest offices of state.
