Aug 13, 2024: Exploring Chandni Chowk during the monsoons is a sensory delight, an experience that blends the old-world charm of Delhi with the refreshing allure of the rains. As you step into this bustling market, the aroma of the traditional food wafting through the air beckons you. The wet cobblestone streets glisten under the soft drizzle, reflecting the vibrant colours of shops and stalls lining the alleys.

Navigating through the crowd with an umbrella in hand, you are greeted by the cacophony of sounds – the chatter of vendors, the whoosh of e-rickshaws, and the rhythmic patter of rain. Each shop window showcases an array of goods, from intricately embroidered sarees to delicate silver jewellery, inviting you to explore further. 

The monsoon adds a magical touch to the shopping experience, making it more intimate and immersive. Taking a break from shopping, you find refuge under a canopy, sipping hot chai and savouring the crispiness of pakoras, watching the market come alive under the rain.

The rain amplifies the charm of this historic market, making every visit a cherished memory.
