Manek Chowk and Rani no Hajiro

Manek Chowk is the historic commercial heart of the old city, a square where vegetable, jewellery and cloth sellers operate by day and food stalls take over at night for the famous late-night street food scene. Beside it, Rani no Hajiro is a complex of tombs of Ahmed Shah's queens with delicate stone carving, and both are listed as photography destinations near Lal Darwaza. Street photographers will find sellers, textiles, carts and the old city's wooden balconies, and after dark the square is lit by the stalls. Crowds and bikes make large equipment difficult, so a small camera with a fast prime works best. Ask before photographing people, especially vendors and women, and secure bags. Opening hours of the tomb complex are set by the market schedule, and the area is easily combined with Teen Darwaza and the Jama Masjid.
