 | Delhi Chandni Chowk Reviews | 1 - 10 of 19 |  |
Walking along Chandni Chowk [in English said as Moonlight Square], especially in Friday praying, i can find both religious activity and commerce mixing in harmony. Not only Jami Masjid, here also laying Sisganj Gurudwara, Shiv Temple and Sunehri Masjid. Plus Kinari Bazaar, Dariba Kalan and Karim's.
You can imagine, the atmosphere. Just like a festival, time by time here :) Leave a Comment

The most beautifull street of Delhi is Chandni Chok, a.k.a. the great market. Here the level of pullusion, smog, people, traffic and whatever else is sooooooo huge! But here, you are exaclty in the middle of the life of Delhi. Have a walk here is, in a way, a MUST see activity, that you will deifnitely enjoy! Leave a Comment

This is where you will find the real Dehli.
This area is made up of narrow roads,markets and a Mosque (The Jami Masjid..India's largest Mosque,a magnificent building which holds upto 20000 people at prayer time..be ready to take your shoes off and dont go on a Friday or at prayertime as like us you wont go in)
It can be a bit intimidating,being surrounded by hundreds of people doing their daily jobs,tasks etc,but you more or less wont be bothered here..just watch,look and soak up the atmosphere..the cows and goats,the many shops selling everything under the sun,look up at the mass of wires that alarmingly carry electric to the many buildings.
The smells here as well are something you will remember for quite a while.
This is worth the visit..its not far from the Red Fort and is accessible by foot Leave a Comment Directions: Old Dehli..main street;Chandni Chowk

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.

This Square teaches you how to live your life.You will see number of people roaming around here. All will be looked busy but they have time for you. In our country, there is a very less time for our friends and relatives. But this fact is not applicable for India. This chowk ( Square) is a morror of the Indian Society.
You can buy many things here at unbelievable price....hansicrafts....bags.....many more things....
I loved this chowk due to its liveliness and colorfulness. You will find here many smiling faces. Just see the pics.
I love India. Phone: 9213409229Directions: For going red fort, take auto ( green one ). After going there, you can walk around.

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

Walk in the streets in search of an adapter (ask VT member MUNKI about it) or anything else ... and you'll find it ! Take as well a cycle rickshaw in the maze of streets and enjoy the thrill of it Leave a Comment

This is the main street of Old Delhi. It is very busy and colourful. It is actually a shopping bazaar, with many interesting buildings and places.
Start your walk down Chandni Chowk fro the Red Fort side. At this end you will also see the Jain Temple (which has a bird sanctuary). There are many great shops, so do leave the main road to visit some great shops. A visit to Delhi shlould include a visit to this wondrful area.

One of the main markets of Delhi, Chandni Chowk was once lined with beautiful fountains. But today the place is very crowded and congested. 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 which was erected by the wives of Shah Jahan. Opposite the old police station or the Kotwali is the Sunheri Masjid from where Nadir Shah ordered his troops to plunder and massacre Delhi. Leave a Comment
