Chandni Chowk

The capital city of the country, Delhi is the hub of politics in the present  times. If one looks at the history of this present-day metropolitan, one will  notice that it has been so, for the past many centuries. Every dynasty that ruled this city in different times brought along with them their own culture that also included their architectural type. Many of them built monuments during their reign that now have become heritage monuments of the capital city. The sky-high buildings of today have overshadowed these age-old monuments but there are some people who have a lot of interest in knowing about these largely ignored monuments. Many such buildings are nestled the heart of extremely popular, Chandni Chowk, the famous street of the old part of Delhi, formerly known as Shahjahanabad. In order to make people aware of the historical importance of these buildings, heritage walks are organized every year. Although the bylanes of this place are very popular for its wedding-related stuff and food, but there are some lesser-known buildings that are worth visiting.

As these walks are organized to create awareness, mostly such walks are organized during the weekends, in the daytime as there is less traffic trouble and also most amount of people can join the walk, like school children, office goers, businessmen etc . There are no restrictions as anyone who wants to about the stories of these monuments can join in. Wear comfortable shoes and carry  a water bottle. Please take note that such walks might involve visit to religious sites, so you should avoid wearing short clothes.
