Palam

Palam is a residential suburb in South West Delhi located near Indira Gandhi International Airport. The area contains multiple housing complexes, shopping centers, and commercial zones spread across its main thoroughfares.

The region appeared in the Ain-i-Akbari record as a district under Delhi's administration during the Mughal period. It served as an important location within the historical network of settlements and administrative divisions.

The ancient Dada Dev Mandir, established over a thousand years ago, functions as the central religious site for multiple surrounding villages in the district.

The suburb is well connected and features two main shopping zones: Palam Main Market with roughly one thousand shops and Syndicate Market. Visitors can find everything they need for daily shopping and services in these areas.

The name comes from the Sanskrit word Paalama, which means boundary or limit. This reflects the place's historical role as a connection point between different areas of administration.
