Answer 1

Answer:

British choose to hold a grand Durbar in Delhi although it was not the capital because they wanted this place to be the centre of Administration. ... After the revolt, the British had realised that the Mughal emperor was still important to the people and they saw him as their leader

Answer 2

During the revolt of 1857, the british had realised that the mughal emperor was still important to the people and they saw him as their leader. It was, therefore, important to celebrate British power with pomp and show in Delhi-the city-the mughal emperors had ruled earlier. the British thought that by doing this they would acknowledge people about their power and authority.
