The Chandni Chowk (meaning Moonlight Square) is a street market square it is one of the oldest and busiest markets in Old Delhi,[1] India. Located close to the Old Delhi railway station, the Mughal-era Red Fort is located at the eastern fringes of Chandni Chowk. It was built in 1650 by the Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, and designed by his daughter, Jahanara. The street spanning the market was historically divided by canals, engineered to reflect moonlight. These canals he since been closed, leing behind a transformed urban landscape. It remains one of India's largest wholesale markets.[2][3]
History[edit] Procession of the Emperor Bahadur Shah II on Eid in Chandni Chowk in 1843. Delhi Town HallThe market's history dates to the founding of the capital city of Shahjahanabad when Emperor Shah Jahan established the Red Fort on the banks of the Yamuna River, hemming his new capital.
Original Chandni Chowk[edit] Jahanara Begum's caranserai that constituted the original Chandni Chowk (from Sir Thomas Theophilus Metcalf's 1843 album) Chandni Chowk in the 1860sThe original Chandni Chowk, half-moon-shaped square, was situated before the Townhall; its reflection used to shimmer in the moonlit water pool located at the front. A shallow water channel, whose source was the Yamuna, ran through the middle of the straight street now referred to as the Chandni Chowk bazaar, with roads and shops on either side of the channel. This road had three bazaars.[4] Chandni Chowk ("moonlight square") and its three bazaars were designed and established by Princess Jahanara Begum, Shah Jahan's fourite daughter, in 1650. Originally consisting of 1,560 shops, the bazaar was 40 yards wide and 1,520 yards long.[5] The bazaar, fashion to resemble a square, was accorded ample elegance by the presence of a pool at the complex's center. The pool glimmered under the moonlight, a characteristic that inspired its name.[6]
The shops were originally arranged in a distinctive half-moon pattern, a design that has since been lost or altered over time. The bazaar gained renown for its thriving silver trade, leading to its association with silver merchants. This prominence earned it the moniker Silver Street[7]—a name rooted in its Hindi counterpart, wherein silver is called Chandi.
The term Chandni, which is closely derived from Chandi, further emphasizes the cultural and linguistic connection to the bazaar's identity. The pool at the square was replaced by a clock tower (Ghantaghar) in the 1870s. The centre of the market is still referred to as Ghantaghar. Chandni Chowk was once the grandest Indian market.[8] Chandni Chowk was a significant route for Mughal imperial processions, hosting the grand displays of emperors and their entourages, highlighting its importance in the empire's cultural and architectural heritage. The tradition of grand processions through Chandni Chowk continued during the Delhi Durbar of 1903. Meanwhile, the British contributed to the area's architectural heritage by constructing the Delhi Town Hall in 1863.
Original three bazaars[edit] Shahjahanabad: Chandni Chowk, a central horizontal street within the walled city, featured a half-moon-shaped square illuminated by moonlight, located in front of the Municipal Hall. The road was divided into three equal sections, forming the Urdu Bazaar, Johri Bazaar, and Fatehpuri Bazaar. c. 1911The term Chandni Chowk previously referred only to the square that hosted the reflecting pool. Today, the entirety of the stretch that runs spans the middle of the walled city, from Lahori Gate of the Red Fort to the Fatehpuri Masjid, is known as Chandni Chowk. The road was subsequently trifurcated into the following bazaars:[9][4]
Urdu Bazar: the stretch spanning from Lahori Gate of Red Fort to Chowk Kotwali near Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib was called Urdu Bazaar, i.e., the encampment market. The Urdu language received its name from this encampment. Ghalib noted the destruction of this market during the disturbances of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and its aftermath. Johri Bazar: the Chowk Kotwali to Chandni Chowk section of the straight road was originally called Johri Bazar. Fatehpuri Bazar: Chandni Chowk to Fatehpuri Masjid section of the straight road was originally called the Fatehpuri Bazar.While the contemporary market is blighted with congestion, the market still retains its historical character.[10]
Naughara mansions in Kinari Bazaar Kucha, katra and helis[edit]The road now called Chandni Chowk had several streets branching off of it, which were referred to as kuchas (streets/wings). Each kucha usually had several katras (cul de sac or guild houses), which in turn had several helis. The following terms are generally used to describe the buildings and the streets:[10]
Mohalla (neighborhood): a residential neighbourhood with kuchas and katras within kuchas.[11] Kucha or Gali (street): Kucha in the Persian language is synonymous with "Gali" or street in the Hindi language. It is a street or a zone with houses whose owners shared some common attributes, usually their occupation. Hence the names Kucha Maliwara (the gardeners' street) and Kucha Ballimaran (the oarsmen's street). Kuchas either had rows of large Helis or gated cul de sac (dead end) "Katra" marketplaces along with them.[4] Kucha mahajani: is one of the biggest gold-trading hubs and wholesale jewellery markets in Asia.[12] Katra (gated cul-de-sac courtyard market-cum-residential complex in a street): are one-room quarters around a court with a single narrow entrance and inhabited by people of the same caste or occupation i.e. a zone with houses whose owners shared some common attribute, usually their occupation, hence the name.[11] Katra refers to a separate wing of tradesmen and craftsmen belonging to the same trade. They usually lived and worked together in a gated cul de sac, the doors of which could be closed at night for the protection of the merchandise, equipment, workers and their families. It is a system similar to the guild housing in Amsterdam such as Handboogdoelen and Voetboogdoelen.[4] Heli (mansion): A normal heli has a big courtyard (atrium) surrounded on four sides by spacious rooms and often another walled courtyard around the exterior. Historic helis include:[13][14][4] Begum Samru's palace built in 1806, now called Bhagirath Palace, see.[15] Dharampura Heli, Gali Guliyan, designed in late Mughal style although parts show the influence of 20 Century architecture. During Mughal and late Mughal Period, a large numbers of Helis were built by courtiers.[16] Chunnamal heli in Katra Neel Ghalib ki Heli of Mirza Ghalib, Gali Qasim Jan (Gali Ballimaran) Haksar Heli in Sita Ram Bazar, where Jawaharlal Nehru was married on 8 February 1916 to Kamla Nehru. She was born here, and her family sold it in the 1960s. Heli used to host mushairas[17] Heli Banarsi Bhawan with a water well is situated near to Shree Digambar Meru Jain Temple in the Masjid Khajoor area. Heli Naharwali, Kucha Sadullah Khan, where Pervez Musharraf, former president of Pakistan was born and his grandfather sold it to Prem Chand Gola after whom this area is now called Gola Market.[18] This was originally owned by the Raja Nahar Khan a Hindu convert of Mewat who converted to Islam during the era of Firuz Shah Tughlaq in 1355, hence the name.[11] Khazanchi heli, the Khajanchi were the accountants of Shah Jahan. A street is named after them called "Gali Khajanchi", a long tunnel connects the heli and the Red Fort, so that money could be transferred safely. It is close to the entrance of Chandni Chowk, from the Red Fort walk towards Fatehpuri, turn left on road to Dariba and the heli is at the end of the road that connects Dariba and Esplanade Road.[19] Heli Raja Jugal Kishore, a grand mansion with an imposing gate, which was adorned with a large ghanta-bell. Located adjacent to the gate, a room in the heli opening towards the street, was given to Lala Sukhlal by the owners of the heli as a philanthropic gesture to open a sweet shop, which came to be identified as ghante ke neechewala halwaii. (see Ghantewala). A street is named after the heli; Kucha-i-Heli Raja Jugal Kishore between Kucha Maliwara and Kotwali Chabutra. Naughara Mansions in Naughara Gali off Kinari Bazaar has 18th century Jain mansions. It is a street with nine (nau) continuous helies with brightly painted floral designs on the facade. Each of the helies used to he a gharha (water pot) placed at door for the thirsty passersby. There is a white marble Jain Svetambara Temple at the end of the street with stone elephant heads at the door, intricate carvings on walls and pillars, a museum on the ground floor with rare manuscripts embroidered in pure gold and silver threads and a black image of Lord Parasanath in the rare kasauti stone on the first floor. Office of Atma Prakash Aggrawal at the beginning of the street houses numerous antiques and should not be mistaken as an antique shop.[20][21] Zeenat Mahal Heli, Lal Kuan BazarSome other commonly used terms are Chatta (the upper floor which arches over the street below), phatak (door, usually to a katra or street which could be locked at night), mahal (a palace, as in Taj Mahal), kamra (a room), kuan is waterwell, etc.[11]
