Presently known as 'Chhatta Chowk Bazaar' or 'Meena Bazaar' , this bazaar earlier was known as 'Bazaar-i-Musaqqaf' or 'Chhatta-bazaar' (a roofed market). Lahori-Gate entrance of the Red fort leads into the shadows of this ' Covered Market' or 'Vaulted Arcade'.
Shah Jahan was perhaps impelled by political reasons to position Chhatta Bazaar at the principal ceremonial entrance to the fort, as an appropriate place to exhibit the Mughal Empire's growing wealth, talents and capabilities.
The Chhatta Bazaar still bubbles with life, but with fewer jewelry shops and more light-hearted Indian handicrafts shops today. Few of them come under the biggest export houses in India.
The prizes here are quite reasonable and affordable. The Chhatta Bazaar is in the process of its revival to get its original glory back after alterations done during the last two centuries.
