Chandni Chowk is the market located in the city of Shahjahanabad, established by Shah Jahan. This market was planned by Shah Jahan so that his daughter could shop anything she needed. This is the largest wholesale market in Asia.

     Chandani Chowk is one of the oldest market places of Old Delhi. Despite that, Chandni Chowk has still retained its charm. Although the place is very disorderly and congested today, once upon a time, it was well- lined with striking fountains. It was regarded as a market that sold every kind of goods. Chandani Chowk is located opposite the Red Fort. At one end of the Chandni Chowk, one can see the Fatehpuri Mosque, which is believed to have been built by the wives of Shah Jahan. At the other end of Chandani Chowk, is the old police station or the Kotwali. The Sunheri Masjid, which was the place from where Nadir Shah ordered his army of men to pillage and massacre Delhi is located close by. The Chandani Chowk is still visited by many curious tourists due to its historical importance.
