Chandni Chowk Walk on 7th March 2009











Hi,

This time I decided to explore Chandni Chowk. The walk was done by Intach and the lead walker was Harika Sachdev. The meeting point was the Jain Temple and we were 20 of all. After the introduction we walked through the lanes of chandni chowk. Passed by State Bank of India and then saw the Church, Dariba and saw the famous Jalebi wala.
Then we stopped at Sis Ganj Gurdwara were Harika told us about the importance of the Gurdwara. From there we went deeper into the lanes, there came gantewali shop, parantha wali gali, nau griha. We also went inside the Jain temple here. And then finally reached Jama Masjid.
There our walk ended. Then a few of us decided to visit the Masjid. We went inside the Masjid. It was amazing. There was a water pond in the middle with peigoens all over the place, lovely view. From there we went back to parantha wali gali, had the tasty paranthas & back home.
