behind the old ramparts of the Red Fort, which comes to
life on
Sundays to trade a mix of "secondhand" and allegedly stolen
goods.

Bazaar:
Spice
market on khari Baoli, near Fatehpuri Masjid, clouded with the fine
dust
of flour and spices and dried fruits sold here are said to
be the best in Delhi, and
many are
sold to be the best in Delhi, and many are sold to wholesales by
the

colourful street set behind the gurudwara on Chandni Chowk, and

to the main road by Dariba Kalan, "the street of
incomparable peal", which is the
centre for jewellers. The shops in Kinari Bazaar overflow
with bright wedding finery,
including garlands
made of rupee notes, grooms' turbans, rosettes and glistening
tinsel used by
Hindus, Christians and Muslims in vivid and noisy marriage ceremonies.
In October (the month of Ram Lila) the shops stock props for the
annual theatre
productions-bows and
arrows, cardboard swords and fake heads for the evil nine-
headed King Ravana.

of cramped shops clustered around the base of the

bangles, kebabs, sticky sweetmeats and devotional pictures for
shrines.

and condiments you

seeds, pickles,
sugars, chutneys and edible leaves of silver paper used to coat
sweets and cakes.
