St. James’ Church
St. James’ Church & St. James’ Church Kashmere Gate Heritage Zone - Centered around the 1836-built St. James’ Church, this area preserves Delhi’s rich colonial past with its copper-domed church, Kashmere Gate’s 1857 Uprising scars, and the quiet Lothian Cemetery. British-era landmarks like the Old Telegraph Office, St. Stephen’s College building, and Civil Lines bungalows reflect 19th-century architecture and administration. Together, these sites form a living heritage corridor where Mughal walls meet the legacy of the British Raj.
Chandni Chowk
Chandni Chowk - A bustling heart of Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk is steeped in Mughal-era charm, with narrow lanes lined by havelis, ornate temples, and grand mosques. Once designed by Jahanara Begum, it reflects centuries of trade, culture, and culinary traditions. The area’s architectural heritage blends Mughal, colonial, and local styles, with landmarks like the historic Town Hall. Dotted with iconic sites such as the Jama Masjid, Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib, Shri Digambar Jain Lal Mandir, and the Gauri Shankar Temple, it stands as a testament to Delhi’s enduring spirit of religious harmony. Even today, it remains a living museum of the city’s vibrant past.
Darya Ganj
Darya Ganj - Known for its historic Sunday book market, Darya Ganj was once part of Shahjahanabad’s walled city, lying just beyond the Delhi Gate built by Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century. During the Mughal era, it served as a busy riverside trading area, later transformed under the British into a hub of printing presses, publishing houses, and cultural exchange. Its streets carry colonial-era architecture alongside Mughal remnants, with landmarks like Golcha Cinema and historic educational institutions. The area’s layered heritage reflects Delhi’s transition from Mughal grandeur to British influence, while continuing to be a vibrant centre for literature, commerce, and community life.
