The first\nphase of the Chandni Chowk pedestrianisation will be completed by March 31\nwhile the entire project is set to complete by May-end. Under the redevelopment\nproject, the market is being turned into Delhi\u2019s first pedestrian-only zone \u2013 a\nmajor step towards improving access to the crowded lanes and shops of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The iconic\nmarket is one of the most popular tourist attractions of the city \u2013 full of\nhistoric buildings, places of worship and some of the oldest traders and\nwholesalers of the country. People come from all over the world to explore the\nstreets, savour the lip-smacking food of the neighbourhood and pick up souvenirs,\nranging from traditional clothes to an array of spices, jewellery and much\nmore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chandni\nChowk is part of the walled city of Old Delhi, which was built by Mughal\nemperor Shah Jahan after he switched his capital from Agra to Delhi in 1638. Here you will find glimpses of the splendour and\nromance of Delhi\u2019s erstwhile royalty, from traditional havelis (mansions) to\nthe spectacular Red Fort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For travellers, the market has long been the perfect spot to begin an\nexploration of this historic city, by going back to its diverse roots and\ninfluences, bringing alive the colourful cultural milieu that Delhi is so known\nfor. With the redevelopment of the area, exploring these timeless streets and\nthe treasure trove of history and culture they carry, will become much easier\nand smoother. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
