There were five British Monarchs who were Emperor/Empress of India.
The Indian version of a Coronation or crowning was a "Delhi Durbar".
Three of the five Emperor/Empresses were given a durbar.
Only one Emperor attended his Delhi Durbar.
Empress Victoria (reigned from 1876-1901. Given Durbar in 1877, did not attend.)
Emperor Edward VII (reigned from 1901-1910. Given Durbar in 1903, did not attend.)
Emperor George V (reigned from 1910-1936. Given Durbar in 1911, attended.)
Emperor Edward VIII (reigned from January 1936 to December 1936. Not given Durbar, as he abdicated before plans could be made.)
Emperor George VI (reigned from 1936-1948. Not given Durbar for a few reasons. One was that anti-British sentiment was at its peak during George VI's reign, A second was that WWII started in 1939, which meant that it would be too dangerous for George VI to visit India and it would cost too much to hold such an event during a war. By the time the war ended in 1945 plans were being made for India's independence and both India and the UK were in debt. India became independent in August 1947, and the title "Emperor of India" was abandoned in June 1948.
