Urdu Bazar, Book market near Jama Masjid, Delhi, India.

The market stretches along a busy street connecting Chandni Chowk to Jama Masjid, offering an extensive collection of books and literature materials.

After the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the original marketplace was destroyed, yet the area retained its name and continued its literary traditions.

The market stands as the birthplace of the Urdu language and maintains its position as a center for Urdu literature and intellectual gatherings.

Visitors can find a wide selection of books in multiple languages, along with traditional calligraphy supplies and cultural artifacts throughout the market.

The Janata Cooperative Bank, established in 1956 by Mir Mushtaq Ahmad, operates within the market to support local merchants and residents.
