    This place is representing the Indian old city chandani chowk. This place is really to much crowd. Every day to many people come to visit hear for shopping in chandani chowk. Ghanta ghar is mainly famous for feedings birds. Now a day it is fully modified by government.

    Ghantaghar (literally clock-tower) is a place in the center of Delhi's Chandni Chowk, where an iconic clock tower, called the Northbrook Clock Tower, stood in the early 20th century. The clock tower was built in 1870 and stood there until it partially collapsed in the 1950s and was subsequently demolished. The term "Chandni Chowk" (translation: Silver or Chandni Chowk) originally referred to this spot and later came to designate the entire street. The Clock Tower is considered the center of Delhi, and it still serves as the center of major civic events. Today it is an open and congested area. The Delhi Town Hall is located just north of this site. It was probably the oldest clock tower in India, having been constructed before Rajabai Clock Tower, Mumbai, 1878, Hussainabad Clock Tower, Lucknow, 1881, Secunderabad Clock Tower, Secunderabad, 1897 and Allahabad Clock Tower, Allahabad, 1913. While this clock tower is long gone, the place is still called Ghantaghar within Old Delhi. The clock tower was the location of some of the events related to the Indian independence movement. On 30 March 1919, British soldiers killed many protesters. It is still a very popular place to hold protests.

    My experience is very well.... This is a historical places in chandni Chowk Old Delhi The town hall (ghanta ghar) is a landmark building, at chandni Chowk  in Old Delhi. It was the seat of the municipal corporation of India (MCD) from 1866 during the British Raj till late 2009, when offices shifted to the MCD on Minto Road in Central Delhi  formally inaugurated in 2010. The construction of the building started in 1860 and was completed in 1863. It is constructed out of yellow-painted brick and stone and carved white stone trim. It was initially known as Lawrence Institute and housed Delhi College of Higher Studies before it was bought by the municipality for ₹135,457 (US$1,700) in 1866. Besides government offices, the building also had a library and a European club.

    In old time it was called Clock Tower or Ghantaghar of old Delhi in Chandni Chowk. It was constructed bike English government before independence of India and after independence the building is being used as MCD municipal corporation department office of Delhi and till then the name of this building is called Town Hall of Chandni Chowk. It is an historical and heritage monument of Old Delhi or Delhi State. This building maybe nice tourist place for Chandni Chowk viewer. The building needs attention for development as tourist place and need cleanliness inside and outside for its good attraction.

    Nice place to visit and explore the market for clothes and food. Earlier the new sadak road was famous and used to be filled with books. But, nowadays lots of shops are for clothes only. Deep dive into the streets everywhere you will find the clothes.
