Same story again - I tried searching this very famous place several times @K.K.Sharma ji, but was never able to.

I think the correct location is not on Google Maps, and instead several other Jalebi Walas and sweet shops appear on Google Maps when searching for ‘Jalebi shops in Chandani Chowk’.

Next time, I am accompanying you to this place - the first stop in Chandani Chowk :handshake:

Yes, Sheeshganj Gurudwara Sahib is a very famous religious place and remains open 24 hours. I have seen that at night, there is a long queue of vehicles because four-wheelers are not allowed on that road during the day. However, I have observed self-discipline among the visitors, as the vehicles are parked in a proper line. Kirtan continues even at night. @RosyKohli

Yes, in the narrow lanes of Old Delhi, map accuracy is lower, and the presence of shops with similar names adds to the confusion.

:handshake: Sure! Next time, this Local Guide will truly embrace the role of a Local Guide in Chandni Chowk.:smiley::smiley:
I have already committed to @Ssiddharth2000 that I will lead a Heritage Walk with him in Chandni Chowk. As I will be in Delhi from April 29th to May 1st, I plan to do a rehearsal with @Ssiddharth2000 during that period.
