The British chose to hold a grand durbar in Delhi in 1911 to celebrate the coronation of King George V and to symbolize their authority over India. Delhi, with its historical significance as a former Mughal capital, served as a powerful backdrop to convey British dominance and imperial grandeur. Additionally, hosting the event in Delhi helped to reinforce the idea of continuity with India's rich past while simultaneously showcasing British rule. The durbar also aimed to foster loyalty among Indian princes and leaders, integrating them into the colonial framework.

Before Delhi became the capital of India, Calcutta (now Kolkata) served as the capital during British rule. The British moved the capital to Delhi in 1911, partially due to its central location and historical significance. Calcutta was the capital from 1772 until the shift to Delhi.
