CHANDNI
CHOWK
It was the
eyes and ears of the Mughal's commercial instincts and is today
 one
of the country's best known wholesale markets for textiles,
electronic goods and watches. The entire area was designed by
Jahanara Begum, Shah Jahan's favourite daughter and was then

however a word of caution and that is that there are several
elements who are believed to be selling duplicate goods and the
tourist needs to be careful about this.
