Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib
Looking further, one could identify Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib. This was the place where the 9th Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur was beheaded by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb for refusing to convert to Islam. Hence, the name Sis, which means 'head' in Hindi/Punjabi. The Gurudwara is surrounded by the Old rustic feel of Chandni Chowk as we started walking towards it.

Crows' abode!
The first thing we saw after we arrived from the clogged pathways and parking areas from Metro Station were scores of crows doing what they do the best - perched on electric cables and kawing at one and all!

The Walk-a-thon!
(Click on image to enlarge)
3 Jan 2010. Cold, damp and cloudy sky greeted me as I planned my Chandni Chowk walk-a-thon with a dear friend. Both of us suckers for good food and me dying to revisit the bylanes of Delhi after a hectic 3rd semester in Pune, it would have needed more than that to stop me! Off the metro station and our walk begins!

Jama Masjid
Jama Masjid A call to the faithful. People throng from crowded streets of Chandni Chowk and Chawri Bazaar to pray, leaving their shops on a sunny afternoon. A heart warming sight indeed!
