Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets in Old Delhi, India, is a historically rich and geographically distinctive area that offers a vibrant mix of architecture, commerce, religion, and culture. Here’s a detailed geographical description of Chandni Chowk:

General Location & Context

• Country: India

• State/UT: Delhi (National Capital Territory)

• District: Central Delhi

• Coordinates: Approx. 28.6562° N, 77.2301° E

Chandni Chowk lies in Shahjahanabad, the historical walled city of Delhi, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century. It is situated just north of the Red Fort and runs east-west from the Lahori Gate of the Red Fort to Fatehpuri Masjid.

Urban Layout & Structure

• Central Spine: The main road of Chandni Chowk is a historic boulevard, about 1.3 kilometers (0.8 miles) long and once featured a canal with reflecting pools in the center, giving the area its name — Chandni (moonlight) Chowk (square).

• Narrow Lanes & Galis: Branching off the main road are hundreds of narrow lanes (called galis), each known for a specific trade — such as Dariba Kalan (jewelry), Khari Baoli (spices), and Ballimaran (footwear and spectacles).

• Chowks (Public Squares): Chandni Chowk originally had multiple chowks or squares that served as marketplaces and gathering spaces.

Religious & Cultural Landmarks

Chandni Chowk is a confluence of various faiths and features important religious sites:

• Jama Masjid: One of the largest mosques in India, located just south of Chandni Chowk.
