Kotla Firoz Shah Ruins is the surviving fort complex of Firoz Shah Tughlaq in Old Delhi (Chandni Chowk), the walled city Shah Jahan laid out from 1648 with the Red Fort at its eastern end and Fatehpuri Masjid at the western. The ruins draw travellers who want Shahjahanabad's older layers before or after the Mughal set pieces, and they sit inside a district that still runs on its original plan: guild lanes for wedding trim, silver and books, and Khari Baoli for spices. Chandni Chowk's main road was rebuilt and pedestrianised in 2021, with no cars between 9am and 9pm and only cycle rickshaws and pedestrians, so the approach on foot is far easier than it once was. Expect narrow lanes, heavy crowd density between 11am and 6pm, little shade and most of the market shut on Sunday, Khari Baoli included. Red Fort closes on Mondays and Jama Masjid closes to sightseers during the five daily prayers.
