Crisscrossed by narrow streets with stores jostling for space, Chandni Chowk gives the feel of old Delhi shopping.

Since the 17th century era, this place is rightly called a "shopper's paradise" in Delhi. During the reign of Shah Jahan, there was a tree-lined canal running through its center and reflecting the moon. Hence, the name "Chandni Chowk" came about, meaning "place of moonlight".

Then visit the Gurudwara, the Temple of Sikh religion, an architectural beauty. Sikhs by their religion perform Seva also Sewa, short for the word Karseva refers to "selfless service", work or service performed without any thought of reward or personal gain.

Volunteers who participate in Seva are known as Sevadars. During their visit to the kitchen, they will have the opportunity to become a sevadar and participate in the cooking by making chapatis (Indian omelet), helping to prepare lentils, vegetables and serving the numerous people seated waiting for food.

It is a very uplifting experience in that in a way you are giving something back to the community/people.
