Delhi being the capital of India has its history which dates back to the time of Moughals or even before that. It has a very huge population of Jains that is spread all over the city. As well we can find many Jain temples here. Among these the Kanch Mandir, Birla Mandir and the 14 feet idol of Bhagawan Mahavir in the Mehroli area are worth mentioning.
Kanch Mandir- Inside this Jain Temple thousands of mirrors adorn the walls, floor and ceilings, supplemented by brightly patterned ceramic tiles, Chinese lantern -type glass lamps and cut glass chandeliers which are exquisitely crafted. There are 50 or so crafted murals depicting scenes of conversion to Jainism. The use of glass beads and raised figures produced a pleasing 3-D effect. This mirrored palace is at variance with the austerity and simplicity of the Mahavira's existence and teachings.
Delhi is a metropolitan region in India that includes the national capital city, New Delhi. With a population of 22 million in 2011, it is the world's second most populous city and the largest city in India in terms of area. The NCT and its urban region have been given the special status of National Capital Region (NCR) under the Constitution of India's 69th amendment act of 1991. The NCR includes the neighbouring cities of Baghpat, Gurgaon, Sonepat, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Noida, Greater Noida and other nearby towns, and has nearly 22.2 million residents.
