St. Basil Orthodox Church

St. Basil Orthodox Church in Rohini, Delhi, India serves the local Orthodox Christian community.

St. Basil Orthodox Church is an Orthodox Christian place of worship located in Rohini, Delhi, the National Capital Territory of India. As part of the broader Christian presence in the city, which is a minority religion, the church belongs to the Indian (Malankara) Orthodox Church, alongside other major denominations such as the Church of North India and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Delhi. The history of Christianity in Delhi dates back to the Mughal era, when Emperor Akbar invited a Jesuit priest in 1579 to share knowledge of the faith, though the religion faced decline under Emperor Aurangzeb and again after the British Indian Rebellion of 1857. In the modern context, the church stands among numerous other Christian institutions in Delhi, including the Central Baptist Church, St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral in Hauz Khas, and the headquarters of the Northern Region of the Indian Pentecostal Church of God. While the city hosts a diverse range of churches across various neighborhoods like New Delhi, Najafgarh, and Dilshad Garden, St. Basil Orthodox Church specifically provides spiritual services to its congregation in the Rohini area, continuing the legacy of Christian worship in the region.
