Meeting Place : Sunehri Masjid, New Delhi
Landmark : in front of Red Fort Parking, near petrol pump, Daryaganj
Venue Info : Map | Nearest Metro Station - 'Chawri Bazar(Yellow Line)'
Event Details : The heart of Delhi’s publishing industry, Daryaganj sits at the junction of old and new Delhi, and makes for a fascinating heritage route.Visiting Daryaganj can be an amazingly rewarding experience, since this area literally breathes history.
Daryaganj means `the mart by the river’ (darya is the Urdu word for river; ganj means mart or wholesale market). Although the river in question—the Yamuna—has since changed its course, it originally flowed by here, along the walls of what was, in the 17th century, an important wholesale market.
Daryaganj today is a very busy commercial district, teeming with people all through the day. But the memories of ages past still haunt this area, and there’s plenty of interesting history hidden within the narrow lanes and bylanes of the neighbourhood to make this a rewarding heritage route.
