However, this market is more than a place for shoppers. It dives deep into Mughal history, involving people, stories and ancient culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was established in the 17th century by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The place was known as Shahjahanabad (now Old Delhi), also the capital back then. Chandni Chowk was specifically designed by his daughter, Jahanara Begum, in 1650 CE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1049\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chandini-Chowk_Image-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chandini-Chowk_Image-12.jpg 1049w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chandini-Chowk_Image-12-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chandini-Chowk_Image-12-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chandini-Chowk_Image-12-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chandini-Chowk_Image-12-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1049px) 100vw, 1049px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Chandni Chowk <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know the name Chandni Chowk means moonlit square?
