Draft:Naughara Gali

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Background

[edit]

Naughara Gali, translated to "Nine-House Lane" is an alley, in the Bazaar of Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi, India. Naughara Gali is known for the signature architecture of its nine homes, which are Haveli type homes once owned by members of the Jain community. These havelis are noted by curved arches and painted doors. [1] Naughara Ali is entered through Chandni Chowk's Kinari Bazaar. The lane leads to Shvetambar Jain Temple.

History

[edit]

Naughara Gali was part of the city planning of the city of Shahjahanabad, now known as Old Delhi. This alley was one of the spaces planned as a residential area. [2]

Present

[edit]

Although Naughara Gali is a residential district, very few people live there. The alley's havelis have not been modernized, and have safety and space constraints, which the government has not addressed as of yet [3]. The surrounding area has been highly commercialized. The lane is marked by much less business than the Kinari Bazaar it connects to. [4]
