One of the markets most popular books of "Purani Dilli" is Nai Sadak . This place boasts of countless wholesalers and retailers that sell college & school textbooks. Similarly, you will find shops selling stationery. This market is open 6 days a week, except Sundays.
As the name suggests, the Chor Bazaar (Thieves Market), which is located near the Red Fort, offers dazzling products at low prices, including electronics, designer clothing, and countless other objects. Here you can find almost everything. The only negative is that these products are not guaranteed, so it is impossible to determine their lifespan.
The Chhatta Chowk Bazaar is a single market of its kind in the commercial area of Chandni Chowk in Delhi. There, trading caravans display their products on display, then move. This market was made for women wearing the veil, but today the Chhatta Bazaar also attracts ladies and invited them to make their choice in complete anonymity. The place also has 40 shops which primarily sell imitation jewelery, embroidered bags, wall hangings and hand-painted many other things. It’s worth exploration.
For book lovers, the book market Daryaganj is a blessing. You will find absolutely everything from the latest bestseller book whose edition is exhausted. This place is especially known for being the largest weekly market books in the world.
It is now time to charge into the claustrophobic hustle and bustle that is Chandni Chowk (Moonlight Crossroads), the onomatopoeic quality of the thoroughfare's name being undoubtedly apt. Shah Jahan's daughter Jahanara laid out the street to form the processional thoroughfare for her father's new city in 1648.
Chandni Chowk stretches westward from the Red Fort to the Fatehpuri Mosque. Chandni Chowk was originally tree-lined and a water channel ran through its centre. Shops are closed on Sundays and the many public holidays, but the smaller entrepreneurs then take over, selling from the sidewalk and the street's vivacity is maintained. Alleyways run southward, accommodating specialized bazaars which should not be missed.
Cycle rickshaws ply along Chandni Chowk itself but most of the side streets are best explored on foot. Visitors are recommended to employ a guide who knows Old Delhi well to conduct them for an hour or two through the maze, otherwise much will be missed.
Also on the point in Chandni Chowk, there stood a gate which gained the name Khuni Darwaza (Gateway of Blood) when, in 1739 the bodies of victims of Nadir Shah's massacre were piled against it.
