Chandni Chowk (Moonlight Square) was designed and established by Princess Jahanara, Shah Jahan’s favourite daughter, in 1650 . Why this place called as Chandni Chowk, reason is the bazaar was famous for its silver merchants, which also have contributed to the name as silver is referred to as Chandi in Hindi, a slight variation of which forms Chandni. The pool in the chowk was replaced by a clocktower (Ghantaghar) until the 1950s. The center of the market is still referred to as Ghantaghar. Chandni chowk was designed and established by Princess Jahanara, Shah Jahan’s favourite daughter, in 1650 CE.

People comes here for purpose but I enjoy my visit when i have my gadget with me and capture the life of that old and rolled points of this beautiful lane. There are many narrow streets ( aka Koochas) connects to residences and multifloor shops.

he area I visited for rich heritage buildings, temples and life style of Chandni chowk. Though this place is famous for various things but also famously known as Kinari Bazaar or the market of borders. Borders, the bling-y, glitter-y and all other kinds that women buy to design their clothes and put these across their saris, dupattas, suits and so on. This market is thronged by women from all across Delhi (and beyond) going crazy for the beautiful, beautiful borders. How I wish I could click some of them! Also the even more beautiful shops they were housed in! Apart from the reason mentioned in the post’s beginning, I could also not click because shopkeepers at such rugged places generally get offended when you click. However, I managed to click a few

One who visited here might have noticed that Chandni Chowk is also a famous religious hub as it inhabits different places of worship for people of different beliefs. Most of the places are centuries old and peacefully coexist together. Sis Ganj Gurudwara, Christian Central Baptist Church and Digamber Jain Temple stand on the same road. Jama Masjid stands not too far from the three opposite to the Red Fort. This speaks volumes for this place. It is rarely seen anywhere and is a spectacular feature of this place.


Few Unique things about Chandni Chowk:

4. INDULGE
