CHANDNI CHOWK
The Unity In Diversity
HISTORY It was built in 17th century and the
foundation was laid by the favorite
daughter of Emperor Shahjahan,
Jahanara.
Originally the pool was built and
the market was divided by the
canals to reflect the moonlight, as
a result, it acquired the name of
Chandni Chowk- "the moonlit
square".
During that time itself, an arcade
of shops had been built in a half-
moon shape. Round this in no
time, grew a fabulous trading
center branched into a number of
by lanes(galis).
THE PRESENT MARKET: In the present time Chandni
Chowk is known as the largest
trading centre of North India with
around 2500 shops.
It is a crowded place and
normally there is a maze of traffic
that one has to negotiate almost
every second.
This place is the mixture of
religion, food, chaos, history,
modernity, tradition and
commerce.

side by sides. Here one can find
more than seven Hindu and
Jain temples, two Churches,
three Mosques and two
