The future George V and Queen Mary's 1905-06 Royal Tour began in Bombay and travelled via Rajasthan to Lahore, Peshawar, Jammu, Amritsar, and Delhi. From Delhi, they went to Agra, Gwalior, Lucknow, Calcutta, Rangoon, and Mandalay. Then to Madras, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Benares, the Nepal Terai for shikar, Quetta and Karachi.

During his eight-month tour to India, possibly the longest of any Royal, George was reputedly horrified by the racial inequality he witnessed and advocated for more Indian participation in governance. Queen Mary was attracted with Indian artefacts and collected them throughout her life. The couple returned for the durbar in 1911.
