The marvelous city is also known for its lush gardens that are created to revitalize and refresh visitors. Delhi in short is simply magical and has enough charm to inspire a tourist.<\/p>\n
They say that the real essence of Delhi can be experienced by visiting its bustling and congested market, Chandni Chowk, where you can shop for every imaginable item from glittering clothes to sparkling jewellery, handicrafts and antiques and from colorful mouthwatering food items to electrical goods, carpets and gemstones. The name of the marketplace literally means Moonlight Square which is believed to have come from the reflection of full moon in the pool that exists as a fountain at present.<\/p>\n
Chandni Chowk is located in old Delhi and it accommodates holy shrines of five religions, Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Jainism and Sikhism, all at one place depicting tolerance for each other and brotherhood. This market is always full of life and heavy crowds. The aroma of the spices being sold in open sacks and that of the food items being cooked in the open streets add spice to the atmosphere and tempt you to lose your way in the marketplace where every vendor shouts out loud to attract your attention.<\/p>\n
