Markets and Bazars of Delhi

Ok. Compared to our visits to Delhi over 10 years ago, the city is significantly less crowded.

Now you can actually walk through Chandni Chowk, the oldest shopping market where each block represents a different industry or product. Then there are the "small" bazars of Meena and Cahndri, still requiring police to help people and animals navigate each other. However to give a sense of "people density", these photos are of a local neighborhood market just behind the 2nd gate of the Jara Masjid. Need shoes, electronics, sweaters or a bite to eat? Out with your honey on the way home? It's all here.

With 16-million people, crowded is a relative term!
