Old Delhi, Historic district in Delhi, India
The walled city contains narrow streets lined with centuries-old buildings, traditional shops, religious structures, and bustling commercial establishments across its compact layout.
Emperor Shah Jahan established this fortified capital of the Mughal Empire in 1639, moving the administrative center from Agra to create a planned city.
The Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque, stands as the central religious monument with its red sandstone architecture and broad stairways accommodating thousands of worshippers.
Chandni Chowk market offers diverse shopping sections specializing in textiles, jewelry, spices, books, and electronics through its network of specialized lanes.
The underground chambers and passages beneath the buildings of Chandni Chowk served as escape routes during historical conflicts and connected various parts of the city.
