Chandni Chowk, DELHI TOURS

Chandni Chowk, DELHI TOURS

Like many other landmarks of Delhi and her adjoining areas, Chandni Chowk too owes its origin to the Mughal rulers. The foundation stone for this vibrant bazaar was laid by Jahanara, Shah Jahan's favorite daughter. Today, the largest trading center of northern India, it is also known as the Moonlit Square. Situated in the Red Fort, the erstwhile capital of the Mughal dynasty, Chandni Chowk is characterized by its many lanes and by-lanes that are filled with all the hustle and bustle associated with vibrant market places. Each of these lanes is famous for a specialty that is particular to itself. These can range from glittering jewelry to mouthwatering foodstuff.

Chandni Chowk is famous not just for its markets but also for the various places of worship that the region has. These include:

Sri Digambar Jain lal Mandir
Jama Masjid
Gurudwara Shish Ganj
Gauri Shankar Temple
Sunehri Masjid

Chandni Chowk perhaps symbolizes the vibrant feel that characterizes India and her way of life. Besides this, it also symbolizes the unity in diversity that is present amongst Indians all around the country. It is, on a lighter note also a symbol of the versatile eating habits of the Indians, housing eateries like:

The Ghantewala Halwai
Natraj's Dahi Bhalle
Kanwarji Bhagirathmal Dalbhajiwallah
Chaatwallah
Bikaner Sweet Shop
Haldiram's
