 | |  |  | Chandni Chowk: Dive in real Delhi! | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
Chandni Chowk is a street of Old Delhi and also a district south of this street, located between Chandni Chowk Street, Chaw Bazar Street, and Shrad Dhanand Street. It seems life never stops here: there are all sorts of shops, small restaurants, you can watch all sorts of people, make shopping, well, everything! I love to dive in other worlds, and here I had what I liked!
To get a bit acquainted, I first walked West, coming from the Red Fort, in the main street, and looked at shops; I found a shop where I could buy a field magnifying lens, (which, except in few specialised shops, you hardly find in Paris) and went on, opening my eyes and ears. It is incredibly hectic and noisy!
Well, just a few pictures on the main street.
You will see rickshaws, busy people, other having a minute of spirituality at a mini-temple in the street, pedestrians, cycles, cars. . . . very busy place.

| | | | Chandni Chowk: Chandni Chowk (Old Delhi) | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
Chandni Chowk is the centre of all commercial activity in Old Delhi. This wide street facing the Lal Quila (Red Fort), stretches from the Digamber Jain Temple at one end to the Fatehpuri Mosque at the other. It is easy to get lost in the maze of tiny lanes and streets that surround Chandni Chowk. These tiny streets are a hub of frantic commercial activity during business hours. Business is still carried out in the old ways here, some of the streets are too narrow for any kind of vehicle to get in. You can still find loads of material being carried on carts, wheelbarrows and cycle rickshaws. Every street has a story to tell and every lane offers an interesting mix of old and new - from wholesellers of Fabric, Books, Electronics Components, Spices, Dry Fruits and Medicines to regular shops offering Clothes, Electronics, Traditional Delicacies and Sweets. Chandni Chowk can be quite an intimidating experience for a first timer. The sheer over crowding, pollution, congestion, smell and noise, can all be a serious assault on your senses. A visit to the chowk can be anything - from a truly fascinating experience to the most frustrating one. Leave a Comment
