Neighbourhood in South Delhi, Delhi, India
Naraina Village is a village in New Delhi, India.[1][2] It is a Tanwar/Tomar Rajput village.[3]
Before 1911, Naraina was a typical rural village—secluded, agricultural, and largely self-sufficient. It had open fields, village homes, and a community organized around local farming and traditional livelihoods. The village was not connected to any major urban network and retained the character of a small, independent settlement in the Delhi region, largely untouched by large-scale development.
After 1911, when the British acquired land to establish the Delhi Cantonment, Naraina’s rural landscape began to disappear, gradually giving way to urban infrastructure and industrial and residential projects. Following Independence, land acquisition continued for industrial and planned residential areas, causing the surrounding neighbourhoods to flourish while the village itself gradually shrank.[4][5]
- ^ CHATTERJEE, SUKHENDU “During the reign of Mohammad Bin Tughlaq (1325-1357 CE), the city was named as ‘Dhilli’ in a stone inscription in Nadayan village (modern day Naraina). Similarly, another inscription recovered from Palam village Baoli refers to ‘Delhi’ as lying in ‘Haryanak’, present-day Haryana. The Tomar kings built their capital at Suraj Kund, an area protected by hills. An early landmark of Delhi is a pre tenth century temple fort and lake complex in and around present day Suraj kund. Sultan Garhi Suraj kund with its sun temple, the ruins of a dam and some fortifications in ruins all point to creations by Suraj Pal and Anang Pal of the Tomar Dynasty.” (26 November 2024).
