Religious sites in New Delhi

Spiritual Heritage

New Delhi’s spiritual landscape is a tapestry of ancient traditions and grand architecture. This collection features iconic sites like the white-marbled Gurdwara Bangla Sahib and the historic Nizamuddin Dargah, a center for Sufi devotional music. The selection spans from the ancient Hanuman Temple, linked to the Mahabharata, to the sprawling 28-hectare Chhatarpur complex and the 20th-century Lakshmi Narayan Temple. Religious diversity is further highlighted through the Latin Rite Sacred Heart Cathedral and the fusion architecture of St. Peter's Cathedral.
