Sacred Heart Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church situated in New Delhi, India. It is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Delhi, which serves as a major religious institution in the National Capital Territory. Christianity in Delhi has a complex history, dating back to the Mughal era when Emperor Akbar invited a Jesuit priest in 1579 to share knowledge of the faith, though the religion faced declines under later Mughal rulers and during the British Indian Rebellion of 1857. The Archdiocese of Delhi, along with other dioceses such as the Church of North India and the Syro-Malabar Diocese of Faridabad, maintains a presence in the city through various churches and institutions. While the broader Christian community in Delhi includes diverse denominations like the Central Baptist Church, St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral, and the Indian Pentecostal Church of God, Sacred Heart Cathedral specifically represents the Roman Catholic tradition within this landscape. The cathedral stands as one of several places of worship in New Delhi, contributing to the city's religious diversity despite Christianity remaining a minority faith in the region.
