"After Gandhi was assassinated in 1948, his body was cremated, and the site is now a national shrine. A black marble slab sits in a large courtyard, inscribed with the great man's last words: "He Ram!"."

While the scenes may seem archaic, the shopping is exactly where it's supposed to be so make sure you carry cash (safely tucked about your person).

"Located in Old Delhi, this market has only grown in size, scale and legend. Sometimes it feels like every single human being in Delhi is gathered here, mostly for illicit items or outright knock offs."

"Chandni Chowk, the main thoroughfare of Old Delhi, is surrounded by a confusing network of narrow alleyways and katra (covered passages), crowded with stalls laid out on the floor."

"Old Delhi’s main thoroughfare is a chaotic shopping street, mobbed by hawkers, motorcycles, stray dogs and porters and with narrow lanes running off it offering the full medieval bazaar experience."
