CHANDNI
CHOWK
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. There is however a word of caution and
that is that there are several elements who
are believed to be selling duplicate goods and
the tourist needs to be careful about this. |
