The Story of Many Dilli
Delhi had been the centre of power for over thousand years; but with some gaps in between. Right from the days of the Rajput kings up to the Mughal dynasty, Delhi used to be the centre of power. Cities developed in different parts on the left bank of river Yamuna during the reign of different dynasties. Remnants of all those cities can still be seen in different parts of the modern Delhi.
Shahjahanbad
Character of the City: Shahjahanbad was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1639. It consisted of a fort-palace complex and the city adjoining it. The Red Fort contained the palace complex. The Walled City is towards west of the Red Fort. The main streets of Chandni Chowk and Faiz Bazaar were made broad enough to that the royal processions could pass through them. A canal ran down the centre of Chandni Chowk. Jama Masjid was built in the densely packed mohallas and various bazaars. It was among the largest and grandest mosques in India. At that time there was no place higher than Jama Masjid in the city.
