Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Step into Shahjahanabad’s first congregational mosque from the Mughal-era. Witness its grandeur and explore the courtyards that reflect Delhi’s rich spiritual tapestry. (Admission fees of 300rs not included.)

Stop 2

Explore the historic charm of Chandni Chowk, India’s biggest market. From the perfumery of Gulab Singh Johrimal’s ittar shop in Dariba Kalan, to the market of Kinari Bazaar, the serenity of Naugharana (nine-houses), the flavours of Paranthe Wali Gali, the buzz of Khari Baoli (spice market), poetic lanes of Ballimaran (where calligraphers lived), and the grandeur of Chunnamal Haveli, each a living piece of Old Delhi’s heritage.

Stop 3

One of Delhi’s nine historic gurudwaras, this sacred site was built in 1783 to honour Guru Tegh Bahadur’s martyrdom. Step inside to find a quiet strength, where devotion echoes in prayer and kindness flows from every volunteer’s hand.

Standing quietly on the busy Chandni Chowk road, the 800-year-old Gauri Shankar Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Step inside to witness sacred stillness, ancient idols, and a revered lingam believed to be over a millennium old.

Located opposite the Red Fort, the Digambar Jain Lal Mandir Delhi’s oldest Jain temple, is a striking red sandstone shrine known for its spiritual calm. Observe how India’s diverse faith communities coexist every day.
