The National Handicrafts Museum sits in the heart of Old Delhi (Chandni Chowk), the walled city of Shahjahanabad that Shah Jahan laid out after moving his capital there in 1648. The museum is dedicated to India's craft traditions, and its setting places visitors directly in the middle of Shahjahanabad's surviving lanes: spice markets, 1913 kebabs, silver bazaars and street food. People come to see the collections and to experience the surrounding bazaars, where Kinari Bazaar sells wedding trim, Dariba Kalan silver, Nai Sarak books and Khari Baoli spices. The main Chandni Chowk road was rebuilt and pedestrianised in 2021, with no cars between 9am and 9pm, making the approach far more walkable by cycle rickshaw or on foot. The lanes off it remain narrow and crowded, and between 11am and 6pm you move at the crowd's pace. Most of the market shuts on Sunday, including Khari Baoli, and the Red Fort closes on Mondays.
