 | | Chandni chowk, is literally the street of the silversmiths, is more an area than a single street branching out into a bazaar of mixed splendour and squalor. |
 | | Indeed, one of the most fascinating things about this area is the persistent contrast that it presents on the one hand of the choice and valuable jewellery it stocks and on the other of masses of simple people walking, or cycling, or traveling by cycle rickshaw up and down its old lanes and by-lanes. |
 | | Leave the Jain complelx, walk along Chandani chowk keeping to the left, past the flower-sellers and cross Esplanade Road, a straight thoroughfare unlike the winding roads west of it, because it was built so much later. |
