Delhi, the capital of India, is not just the political center of the country but also a vibrant reflection of its religious and cultural diversity. Across the city, followers of various faiths have built sacred spaces that offer a glimpse into centuries of devotion, architecture, and history.

Hinduism, the predominant religion, is represented by grand temples like Akshardham, famous for its intricate carvings and cultural exhibitions, and Kalkaji Mandir, one of Delhi’s oldest temples dedicated to Goddess Kali. Additionally, the Sri Digambar Jain Lal Mandir, established in 1656, is Delhi’s oldest Jain temple, offering a serene sanctuary in the heart of the bustling city. 

Islamic faith has left an indelible mark on Delhi through iconic structures such as the Jama Masjid, built by Shah Jahan, one of India’s largest mosques, and the Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah, a revered Sufi shrine that draws devotees from across communities.

Christianity has a historic presence, with churches like St. Stephen’s Church (est. 1862) and the Cathedral Church of Redemption, known for their colonial architecture and spiritual significance.

Sikhism is represented through landmarks like Gurudwara Bangla Sahib and Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib, each with deep historical ties, including the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur.

The city also hosts Judaism, with the Magen David Synagogue, Zoroastrianism at the Parsi Fire Temple, Buddhism through small monasteries, and the Bahá'í faith exemplified by the globally renowned Lotus Temple, open to people of all religions.

Together, these sacred spaces make Delhi a microcosm of India’s pluralistic society, allowing residents and visitors alike to explore centuries of faith, architectural brilliance, and spiritual heritage.
