Dating back to the 1890s, this photograph offers a unique perspective into the rich history and vibrant culture of this iconic city.

In this image, we see the market's grandeur and chaos unfolding before us. The view is dominated by the impressive domes and onion-shaped roofs of the buildings, which showcase the intricate and ornate Mughal architecture that has shaped Delhi's urban landscape for centuries.

The trees lining the streets add a touch of greenery amidst the bustling market scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and enduring traditions of Chandni Chowk, which continues to be a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike.
