Chandni Chowk or the Moonlight Square, one of the oldest and most busiest streets in Delhi is not only a  perfect place to be for shopping or hogging street food, but also offers the perfect frames for street photography.

Capturing the perfect shot tapping the excitement, joy, colours of this buzzing market in the overcrowded streets is definitely a great challenge for the photographers but the shots taken will leave you amazed.
