Old Delhi has always charmed visitors from all over the world. Today filmmakers seem to be fascinated by Chandni Chowk and markets like this. Walking in the streets, which were a part of Shahjahanabad, takes you back to the city as it used to be.
Meena Bazaar was where the royal ladies used to come shopping for their silks, jewels and for their bangles. It was located between the mosque and the red fort, hence easily accessible to them.
What you see now is very different than in the royal times. It still sells the clothes and that too is meant for special occasions like weddings. It sells blankets in bright colors and a whole lot of religious items associated with Islam.
What definitely remains even today, probably from the Mughal era is the Islamic character of this bazaar. Where not only are the buyers and sellers primarily Muslims but also the merchandise sold has some imprint of Islam.
The market is alive with activity. There is a lot to see from clothes to food. It’s an open air market that is open daily and a nice stop if you are visiting the Red Fort or the Jama Masjid mosque in Old Delhi.
