Located inside the spectacular Red Fort of India, present a market built by then, emperor Shah Jahan, in the 17th century, is a long passageway with shops on both sides covered by roofs, which at the time had open markets. This bazaar or market is called Chattha Chowk (covered market).
As it is built inside the Red fort that shows how the emperor didn't even want to leave his fort for shopping. Much like me. One can only assume the things sold here from precious jewellery to gold, silver and fine clothing.
Anyways, as you can see it has beautiful arches with shops on the second storey as well. Although presently the upper storey is restricted.
Now the shops sell only souvenirs for the visitors.
It was a busy day. Even in the afternoon, there were many shoppers and the place was buzzing. Here are the miniature Hukkah they were selling here. Aren't they cute?
Another shop that attracted me was this selling beautifully handcrafted Rajasthani dolls and puppets. There are so adorable. 😍
Just look at those bright colours. Love them.
These puppets remind me of my school days when occasionally we used to have these puppets shows. Brought back many happy memories.
Being a souvenir market meant that there were miniature wonders of the world. How would the market be complete without selling those... right?
And of course the imitation jewellery shop for ladies. These shops used to have some of the most precious jewellery in the 17th century. But we now shifted to these fashion Jewellery.
They had toys for the kids too.
Some swords and shields too. I wonder if they used to have arms in these markets or not. 🤔 Most likely they do!
What would you like to purchase from this bazaar? Let me know in the comments section. I love those little colourful cute puppet dolls. But I didn't buy anything it was expensive. Good luck taking my money. 😜
Anyways, whether you buy something or not you should see how the market for royals was set up during the 17th century by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (the one credited for building the magnificent Taj Mahal).

Those Rajasthani dolls are cool indeed :)) Also, I liked the entrance to the Bazar (or is it just a passage inside of the market?)
As you can see from the first image, the market now has close to 20 shops. Which itself is a passage to a huge Fort. IT has two huge gates on each side which could close before but now the road is raised and they can't close it now.
It was a small market but a market for very limited people only.
And I also heard that one day each week no men were allowed there be that shopkeepers or the customers. And Emperor's queens and other royal ladies of the family used to shop there.
Interesting. Those must be some different times
Interesting and beautiful place and accessories for sale colors are also good. Like post. Thank you.

I love the dolls and the entire post is pretty amazing, the passages and the history of it all. What a wonderful #MarketFriday post and the history lesson/cultural information is priceless.
Thank you for taking the time to make such a wonderful post!
do differ in many ways, which makes us interesting and unique, but, there are many ways in which are so much alike.I want to thank you for being a part of the #MarketFriday Challenge. I have personally found there is always so much to learn about people, where they live, and how things are done in different parts of the world. For me, reaching out across the globe and learning about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, has been such a rewarding experience. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the rituals, festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us... and what is normal for us? There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. We
