What do the words Chandni Chowk bring to your mind? I’m sure it has to be the narrow winding lanes, the massive overflow of people, unhealthy street food joints, vehicles blaring on the street and the utter chaos Old Delhi is usually associated with. But, no! Right in the middle of all the action, lies the Haveli Dharampura, a one-of-a-kind experience in the area. The haveli, originally built in 1887 has been restored and brought back to life into what is now a dream-like property which promises a mesmerizing trip down the memory lane.
