It dates back to the 16th and 18th centuries. It is a walled world, with a mix of old and new buildings, winding lanes and dead-end streets; the sounds of car horns, and the tinkling of rickshaw bells, make it unique. We will visit the Chandi Chowk market, more than 350 years old, which features a mix of people, livelihoods and businesses, busy from mid-morning to evening amidst a distinctly medieval backdrop. One of the major peculiarities of this market is its organization by specialties and the best way to visit it, is to live like a native getting on a rickshaw with their wallahs (drivers).
