Late 19th Century India, Lahore.
'The old Zamzamah gun that roared in the Battle of Puniput.'
This large cannon stands in front of the Lahore Museum and it is this gun that the hero is seated astride at the beginning of Rudyard Kipling's 'Kim'.
"This huge old bronze gun...has been elevated to this conspicuous place of honor beside a great popular thoroughfare where it can be seen by all persons.
Like other "big-guns" it has been honored with titular distinctions; it has been called "The Hummer", "The Roaring Lion," "The Fire-Breathing Dragon"
An old proverb 'Who holds Zamzamah (The Roaring Lion) controls the Punjab.'
The Sikhs call it the Bhangianwali Top, which signifies the cannon of the Bhangi confederacy."

Mall Road Lahore (1930)
The building on the right side is still intact with its clock tower. The road has been bifurcated as the traffic increased. It's a sigh of relief that nobody can alter the exterior of any historical building on the Mall.
