Coronation Durbar Park Tourism

Type of destination: Historical Park

Ideal visit duration: 1-2 hours

Coronation Durbar Park in Delhi, India, is a park of historical significance situated at the Burari Grounds near Kingsway Camp. The park is known for having hosted the Delhi Durbar of 1911, which was a grand assembly and royal pageant to commemorate the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary as Emperor and Empress of India. The event marked the announcement of the shift of the Indian capital from Calcutta to Delhi. Although the park today is a tranquil place largely frequented by locals for recreational purposes, it serves as a reminder of India's colonial past. Few physical structures from the Durbar remain, but one notable monument is the Coronation Pillar, which marks the location of the royal dais. The park itself is spread over a large area and is often visited for picnics and leisurely strolls. It is not a typical tourist attraction and retains a sense of open, unadorned space, offering a glimpse into the history of Delhi.
