Chor Bazaar A Curious bazaar behind the old ramparts of the Red Fort, which comes to life on Sundays to trade a mix of "secondhand" and allegedly stolen goods.

Meena Baazar A distinctively islamic bazaar of cramped shops clustered around the base of the Jami Masjid, full of clothes, domestic implements and smells not found in Hindu regions of the city. Here you can buy burquas, dupattas, topis, caged chickens, bangles, kebabs, sticky sweetmeats and devotional pictures for shrines.

Chawri Bazaar: Named After the Marathi word Chawri (meeting place), this street, running west from the Jami Masjid, was once flanked by the huge mansions which were destroyed by the British after the Murthy. In the nineteenth century it was famous for its "dancing girls", who looked into the streets below from arched windows and balconies; they were moved out by the Delhi Municipal Corporation in the twentieth century. Today the shops specialize in copper and brass Buddhas, Vishnus, Krishnas, belis, lamps, ashtrays, masks and boxes.

Nai Sarak The long road, Nai Sarak, which connects Chawri Bazaar with Chandni Chowk, is lined with nineteenth- and twentieth-century building whose lower storeys are used for making and selling paper, and houses shops stocking educational books and stationery.

Chandni Chowk Chandni Chowk was famous for the Fountains and the shops during the Mughal period. Located opposite to the Red fort, the fountains of the Chowk have disappeared but the shops still remain. The attraction of the shops in the region are not the big showrooms but the small shops in the by lanes. Some of these shops offer you better bargain than the big showrooms. The Sadar Bazzar and the Khari Baoli are the largest whole sale markets in the northern region of India. Dariba Kalan is still known for the perfumes and Jewellery. One can not miss the Lajpat Rai market where one gets any kind of electronic item. While going around Chandni Chowk pay special attention on your pockets and beware of touts and the duplicate products.
