Chandni Chowk, as we all know is such a humongous market. Getting lost there is very common.
So I began with some online research and printed out maps. I got to know that the market has several by-lanes which are all dedicated to different purposes.
Here is something about the most popular by-lanes of Chandni Chowk:
Nai Sarak: meaning new street is the linking road, which connects the main Chandni Chowk Road to Chawri Bazar and has a very big wholesale and retail market of mainly school and college textbooks. The street can be reached by taking a left turn after theGali Paranthe Wali and just before the Katra Nawab Gali on the main Chandni Chowk Road.
Dariba Kalan: Today, most of the shops in Dariba Kalan trade in silver, gold, kundan, polki and diamond jewellery, besides costume jewellery. Some also deal in authenticitar, a special variety of perfume and attar. These stores claim to date back to the early 19th century. Also near by is Kinari Bazaar, Gali Kazanchi, and Gali Paranthe Wali, also at both ends of the street are famous jalebi shops.
Paranthewali gali: Gali Paranthe Wali or Paranthe wali Gali (गली पराँठेवाली), is the name of a narrow street in the Chandni Chowk area of Delhi, India, noted for its series of shops selling paratha, a fried Indian bread, and now a popular culinary destination.
Thats all for now!
