Chandni Chowk is a Mughal-era street, with a vibrant market, built by emperor Shahjehan's daughter Jehan Ara.  It's said that Chandni Chowk, meaning Moonlight Square, got its evocative name from the moon's reflection in a large pond of water. Apparently, the pond existed in the square in front of the present-day Town Hall but the British built a clock tower over it (the clock tower collapsed in 1951). Gradually, the whole street and adjoining area became known as Chandni Chowk. #ChandniChauk Perfumes and jewelry- Dariba Kalan Fabrics, and saris- Katra Neel Shawls and peals-Moti Bazaar  Sunglasses and shoes- Ballimaran Market   Brass and copper antiques-Gali Guliyan  Spice market- Khari Baoli Trimmings for an Indian wedding  (including plenty of bling)- Kinari Bazaar  Books and stationery -Nai Sarak  Electronics-Bhagirath Palace Cameras-Kucha Choudhary Market  Chemicals-Tilak Bazaar Hardware and paper products- Chawri Bazaar.

Ghantaghar (literally clock-tower) is a location in the center of Chandni Chowk,  where an iconic clock tower, termed Northbrook Clocktower during early 20th century, stood. It was perhaps the oldest clock tower in India While the clock tower is long gone, the location is still termed Ghantaghar within Old Delhi. #GhantaGhar

It is constructed of rubble masonary, contained originally open arcades on all its sides. Five bays of the roof are covered with domes and the remainders are vaulted internally and flat on top. This C-shaped monument belongs to afghan period. Originally the Imambara was situated in an enclosure and there was a tomb towards east of the Imambara. At present this enclosure has disappeared but the tomb is in existence. #ImamBara
