The British were aware of the symbolic importance of the city of Delhi.
It had been the seat of the Mughal Empire since last four hundred years.
The Mughal emperor though had lost all his powers and autonomy, he was still important to the people.
The revolt of 1857 in Delhi had threatened the existence of the British in India.
Therefore, the British choose to hold a grand durbar in Delhi with much pump and show to display the power and authority of the British empire.
