Amazing historical photos of Delhi

At the Delhi Durbar of 1911, held at the Coronation Park, King George V announced the shifting of the capital from Calcutta to Delhi. That decision changed Delhi’s destiny forever and it transformed from a provincial town to India’s political powerhouse. Here are some of the pictures from the glorious past of Delhi.
