This place is a must on every tourist's itinerary list.
Remnants of a glorious past will make one feel like one's back in the 18th
century.
Cotton Market
As its name suggests, this bazaar specializes in making and selling
pillows, quilts and mattresses. It is situated in the lane behind Jama
Masjid.
Cycle Market
A busy market, it is located just beyond the cotton market. It still is
the best place to buy all sorts of kids' bicycles, cycles and accessories
in Delhi. It's also a great place for photographic
equipment.
Meena Bazaar
A recent addition to the list of bazaars in Chandni Chowk, it has shops
dabbling in readymade garments and cosmetics. The bazaar is basically
aimed at pilgrims and tourists. Try the food at the 'dhabas' (roadside
eateries) - it is delicious, but don't expect the place to be spick and
span.
Churiwali Gali
The name means the lane of bangles. Once upon a time this was the place
where bangles were made and sold. Now only a dozen shops remain.
Nai Sarak
A popular road visited by college and school students as it specializes
in second hand school and college textbooks. Musical instruments are also
sold over here.
Flea Market or Chor Bazaar
This Sunday Bazaar on the ramparts of the
Red Fort is locally called 'Chor
Bazaar' (a market of thieves) or 'Kabadi' (trash) Bazaar. Here as in other
flea markets, one can get just about anything from antiques, beautiful
bottles, carpets, car tyres to even used bullets.
