Shahdara district, Administrative district in northeast Delhi, India

The district spans 59.75 square kilometers and contains three subdivisions: Shahdara, Vivek Vihar, and Seemapuri, with headquarters at Nand Nagri.

In the 18th century, Shahdara functioned as a primary grain distribution center, with warehouses supplying markets across the Yamuna river to Paharganj.

The name derives from Persian words 'shah' and 'dara', meaning 'door of kings', reflecting the district's connection to Delhi's royal heritage.

The district maintains ten police stations, five educational institutions, and ten hospitals, serving a population of approximately 3.45 million residents.

Located near the banks of the Yamuna River, Shahdara includes thirteen villages and functions as one of eleven revenue districts in Delhi.
