Chandni Chowk
Hub for Wholesale Market
One of the main markets of Delhi, Chandni Chowk was once lined with beautiful fountains. Today the place is little crowded and congested but you can see the hustle – bustle around with real feel of Old Delhi. It was the eyes and ears of the Mughal’s commercial instincts and is today one of the country’s best known wholesale markets for textiles, electronic goods and watches.

The entire area was designed by Jahanara Begum, Shah Jahan’s favourite daughter and was then inhabited by the well-to-do families of that time. Chandni Chowk is located opposite the Red Fort. The Area has got the Digamber Jain Temple which houses the Birds hospital. On one end of Chandni Chowk is the Fatehpuri Mosque. Opposite the old police station or the Kotwali is the Sunheri Masjid from where Nadir Shah ordered his troops to plunder and massacre Delhi.
