Ancient Capital of Devotion
Layers of Sacred History
Delhi's temples reflect the city's extraordinary historical depth — Kalkaji Temple has been a centre of Shakti worship since long before the modern city existed, while Akshardham, opened in 2005, represents one of the largest comprehensive Hindu temple complexes built anywhere in the world in the modern era, drawing millions of visitors annually.
Chattarpur Temple, one of Asia's largest temple complexes, and a wealth of gurdwaras, mosques and churches across the capital reflect Delhi's position as a genuinely multi-faith metropolis. For pilgrims and travellers alike, Delhi often serves as both a sacred destination in its own right and the gateway to the wider North Indian pilgrimage circuit.
