It's the city’s soul, crammed with jewelry, fabric, and electronics shops, and a great place to sample some of Delhi’s famous street food. Yes we are talking about Chandni Chowk. Did You Know Chandni Chowk Has Asia's Biggest Camera Market? Kucha Choudhary, among the many other kuchas (lanes) in the Walled City, stands out as a narrow lane leading to the biggest wholesale market of photography for items such as cameras, camera accessories, photo frames & digital imaging along with other services such as repairing options - all in one area. This marketplace is located in Chandni Chowk directly opposite the towering SBI branch with a narrow lane as the entrance to the main market. They deal in all kinds of cameras, from the vintage ones to the latest ones, from the regular ones to the best of professional cameras, DSLRs, Polaroids, camera essentials like bags, UV filters, lenses and lens cleaning kits, tripods, and just everything possible! That’s not all, they also do repairs. You won’t even have to bargain here as the prices are already so pocket-friendly.

The lanes are very narrow so the place appears to be very crowded and chaotic. It’s one of the biggest wholesale markets in Delhi. Remember that the price which the shopkeeper quotes are negotiable. It becomes annoying while crossing the lanes as the shopkeepers will ask you to buy things forcibly and pull your hand and will try to drag you to their shop. Be very firm to ignore if you don't want to buy.

Shops within the market may look deceptively small with its cupboards bursting with boxes etc., but on chatting with the proprietor of the shop, you’d be amazed to find that the same shop has been trading at the same place for decades and its main business is that of wholesale supply. Upon enquiring about the prices of regular models you can generally spot at other high-end showrooms, you’d be pleasantly surprised by the prices they have to offer. The shops here also deal with products like photo albums, photo goods, batteries, chargers & other accessories. Apart from the shops selling new items, this market is also highly recommended for the options it provides for repairing cameras & other accessories. Mohan Camera Center, among many others, is one of the most highly-rated repairing centers within this four-walled marketplace, attracting a loyal clientele from far & wide.

One of the best things about this place (other than the variety) is that it offers products in each price segment. There is no dearth of lesser priced products which will surely bring a smile to the face of the customers who visit this market. Many of these shops have started using the Internet & modern-day communication techniques for marketing purposes. You can find names & contact options for hundreds of shops within this market on the web & other online classifieds. This shows that they are not yet ready to be swept away by modern-day stores & remain at par with the best in the business.
