Delhi has been the capital of several ancient Indian empires and a major city along the old trade routes between northwest India and the Indo-Gangetic Plains. It is the site of many ancient and medieval monuments, archaeological sites and remains. The Mughal emperor Shahjahan built the city, now known as "Old Delhi", to serve as the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1649 to 1857. After the British Raj took control of India during the 19th century, Calcutta became the capital until George V announced in 1911 that it was to move back to Delhi. A new capital city, New Delhi, was built during the 1920s. When India gained independence from British rule in 1947, New Delhi was declared its capital and seat of government. As such, New Delhi houses important offices of the federal government, including the Parliament of India. |

| Pataleshwar Temple |
 |
|
Lord Shiva is a pan-Hindu god who is worshipped by one and all—gods, human beings and demons—and getting blessed in return.
It is not just the god but also the offerings made to please him that are quite fascinating. While the ‘destroyer’ or Mahesh, as he is commonly known, is often offered things like poisonous fruits and flowers, in the century-old Pataleshwar temple in the small village of Sadatbadi, in Moradabad, his devotees offer him something rather unusual: brooms. Every Monday, devotees from nearby villages and even faraway places come to offer brooms at this temple of Lord Shiva which is located 6 km away from Bahjoi, a municipal committee on the Moradabad-Agra highway. The brooms offered to the god are always in circulation. Once offered, these brooms are sold by the temple authorities to the shopkeepers sitting outside the complex, from where they are bought again by devotees and offered to the deity. |
