The appeal of Chandni Chowk is not restricted to her importance as the largest trading center in northern India alone. This medieval marketplace is a part of Indian history and a witness to many of the epoch making events in the history of India. Even today, the market echoes with images of a past, where glorious processions set out to celebrate the coronation of the Mughal emperors or to mark royal weddings with all the pomp and finery that the occasions demanded. The sounds of the light swirl of the skirts of the princesses as they shopped for exquisite jewelry and the rustle of silk of the fabrics on display are still entrapped in each and every stone that surround the cobbled pathways of this medieval marketplace. Even today, the entire ambience of the marketplace is alive to the sounds, sights and events that surround the daily lives of the Indians and a reflection of this can be found in the annual events of Chandni Chowk.
These include, the Republic Day Parade on 26th January, when Indians irrespective of their religion, age or caste throng the area to celebrate the foundation day of the world’s largest republic.
Besides this, the area also celebrates a number of other religious occasions which include Diwali, Dussehra, Id-ul-fitr, Sikh, Jain and Christian festivals.
