Chandni Chowk Road




If you need to rent a turban for a wedding, head for Chandni Chowk Road. Here, you will surely find a few shops renting elaborate turbans. From the famous Mysore Peta to exotic Pathan ones, you can borrow them for about Rs 150 a day. A worthy expense if you ask me. After all, a majestic turban will help you rise a few inches above any gathering.

Chandni Chowk Road




Hindu, Muslim, Isai. That's Chandni Chowk Road for you. Even though Chandni Chowk and Shivajinagar is considered a Muslim ghetto by many Bangaloreans, it's actually a very cosmopolitan locality. Yes, the proportion of Muslims and Christians are higher. But compared to cities like Mumbai or Delhi, the fact remains that we Benglureans are lucky to live in a city that still have homes that rub shoulders with each other without causing too many sparks.

Chandni Chowk Road




It's not Delhi-6. This is Bangalore-51. It's not just a Chowk. This is the Chandni Chowk Road.
Only in Benglur would a Chowk's name be followed by Road. And our own Chandni Chowk Road is as interesting as the name. For example, the Russel Market end of Chandni Chowk Road is part of the Gujli. As the graveyard of old vehicles, electrical goods, lathe machines and anything recyclable and its second-hand market is called in the city. 
The Gujli is not as large as the one in City Market (New Bamboo Bazaar) but then Benglureans believe that there's nothing you cannot find at the Shivajinagar Gujli. Like the little shop shown above that sells all kinds of gears, nuts, bolts and fixtures for automobiles, lathe, milling and grinding machines.  And if you want your automobile fixed, you can seek the services of a roadside mechanic. Here's a humble establishment under the spotlight.

Chandni Chowk Rd.



Abdul Khudoos rents and sells all kinds of headgear. A Mysore Peta costs Rs 175 and is rented out for Rs 60 a day.

Like Bangalore Autodrivers I can only take you to places I like to go.
