Chor Bazaar - A Show Stealer
A variety of things can be found in this market. Exquisite Furniture, Clocks, Crystal Chandeliers, Ivory items and Temple carvings, to name a few. It's said that one of the greatest Indian epic movies, Mughal-e-Azam picked its antique pieces from this market for the set decor.

My visit to the place made two things clear; here, one can easily get car spare parts and vintage cameras at affordable prices and the tea cups and crockery sets are a popular buy from this bazaar. Crumbling buildings, chaotic lanes and noisy streets add to this place's hullabaloo.
Some of the traders are 5th and 6th generation shopkeepers and their interaction with the customers are a pleasant sight to watch. A word of caution though, do keep your haggling caps in place and make sure you know the product well or the shopkeepers might just take you for a ride. This place remains open from Saturday to Thursday and is worth a visit for the sense of commotion out here.
