Old Delhi, walled city of Delhi, India, was founded by some Persian Mughal Emperor in 1639.
Yes, it's noisy. Very very noisy.
As if!!!
And it's crowded in old Chandni Chowk.
We attempted to get into the Jama Masji Mosque (1656) , built by the same guy who erected the Taj Mahal.
But we were put off by the decidedly unpleasant clerics at the entry...
Lame beggars on the steps.
Never seen so many eagles.
The Lahori Gate of the Red Fort at Chandni Chowk
Strict house rules in the fort... No smoking, no littering, and no spitting... If only this could be extended to all India...
Our friend on the train, Ishan, recommended a food treat in the Chandni Chowk neighborhood. The famous Paranthe Wali Gali (pan fried Indian bread) Resturant established 1875.
A tiny place down a back lane that is crammed with locals.
And the Paranthes?
Fabulous. Thank you Ishan. One if the best meals we ate in India.
