The Delhi Durbar (Hindi: दिल्ली दरबार, Urdu: دہلی دربار), meaning "Court of Delhi", was a mass assembly at Coronation Park, Delhi, India, to mark the succession of an Emperor or Empress of India. Also known as the Imperial Durbar, it was held three times, in 1877, 1903, and 1911, at the height of the British Empire. The 1911 Durbar was the only one attended by the sovereign, who was George V. The term was derived from common Mughal term durbar.
Called the "Proclamation Durbar", the Durbar of 1877 was held beginning on 1 January 1877 to proclaim Queen Victoria as Empress of India. The 1877 Durbar was largely an official event and not a popular occasion with mass appeal like later durbars in 1903 and 1911. It was attended by the 1st Earl of Lytton—Viceroy of India, maharajas, nawabs and intellectuals. This was the culmination of transfer of control of much of India from the British East India Company to The Crown.
Inside the Victoria Memorial in Calcutta is an inscription taken from the Message of Queen Victoria presented at the 1877 Durbar to the people of India:
Delhi (/ˈdɛli/, Hindustani pronunciation: [d̪ɪlliː] Dilli), officially the National Capital Territory of Delhi, is the capital territory of India. Delhi is historically and culturally connected to both the Upper Doab of the Yamuna-Ganges river system and the Punjab region. It is bordered by Haryana on three sides and by Uttar Pradesh to the east. It is the largest city in India in terms of geographical area - about 1,484 square kilometres (573 sq mi). It has a population of about 16.3 million, making it the second most populous city and second most populous urban agglomeration in India and 3rd largest urban area in the world. Such is the nature of urban expansion in Delhi that its growth has expanded beyond the NCT to incorporate towns in neighbouring states and at its largest extent can count a population of about 25 million residents as of 2014.
Delhi has been continuously inhabited since the 6th century BC. Through most of its history, Delhi has served as a capital of various kingdoms and empires. It has been captured, ransacked and rebuilt several times, particularly during the medieval period, and modern Delhi is a cluster of a number of cities spread across the metropolitan region.
George V (George Frederick Ernest Albert; 3 June 1865 – 20 January 1936) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936.
He was the second son of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), and the grandson of the reigning British monarch, Queen Victoria. From the time of his birth, he was third in the line of succession behind his father and his elder brother, Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale. From 1877 to 1891, George served in the Royal Navy, until the unexpected death of his elder brother in early 1892 put him directly in line for the throne. On the death of his grandmother in 1901, George's father became King-Emperor of the British Empire, and George was created Prince of Wales. He succeeded his father in 1910. He was the only Emperor of India to be present at his own Delhi Durbar.
His reign saw the rise of socialism, communism, fascism, Irish republicanism, and the Indian independence movement, all of which radically changed the political landscape. The Parliament Act 1911 established the supremacy of the elected British House of Commons over the unelected House of Lords. As a result of the First World War (1914–18) the empires of his first cousins Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany fell while the British Empire expanded to its greatest effective extent. In 1917, George became the first monarch of the House of Windsor, which he renamed from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha as a result of anti-German public sentiment. In 1924 he appointed the first Labour ministry and in 1931 the Statute of Westminster recognised the dominions of the Empire as separate, independent states within the Commonwealth of Nations. He was plagued by illness throughout much of his later reign and at his death was succeeded by his eldest son, Edward VIII.

Coronation Park was the venue of Delhi Durbar of 1877 when Queen Victoria was proclaimed the Empress of India. It was later used to celebrate the accession of Edward VII in 1903. On 11 December,1911,the Delhi Durbar took place commemorating the coronation of King George-V as Emperor of India after his coronation in the United Kingdom in June 1911. This had representatives of all the princely states in attendance. The decision to hold Coronation Durbars in Delhi on the vast ground was a move to emphasize Delhi`s history. The park has the largest and tallest statue of King George V on a pedestal,which was earlier located on the Chhatri at India Gate.
After the title "Kaiser-e-Hind: was coined for the British monarch Durbars were held in India to commemorate the the accession of the new sovereigns. At the Durbars of 1877 and 1903 at Delhi, the viceroy received the homage of Indian riders on behalf of the British King-Emperor. That of 1911-12, at the same site (in North Delhi marked by the 'Coronation Park' and a stone obelisk) was on a grandeur scale because 'King George V himself and Queen 'Mary were present. It was on this occasion that the King announced the decision to build a new capital at Delhi.

Hosted by : Darren Chin Produced by : Steph Nambiar Directed & Edited by : Faiq Airudin Makeup by : Nurhamiza Haji Roslan If you did not already know, somewhere along the streets of Jerudong sits a restaurant that has become an assuming hotspot for Biryani. Delhi Darbar, opened in 2013 by Hj Answari Bin Hj Mohd Yussof, is a quaint little establishment floating beneath the radar that doesn't boast about having anything other than the best biryani rice in town.
