Neighbourhood
Chandni Chowk is the main road running through the walled city of Old Delhi, which has been around since 1650, when the Mughal emperor Shahjahan moved the capital from Agra to Delhi. Chandni Chowk is one of the oldest and busiest markets in the old town – selling everything from ribbons to bread to ironware. The main road, choking and congested, still manages to retain its historic character and, despite the chaos, it remains a prosperous trading centre and one of the hearts of Delhi.
