You step from an air-conditioned car into a corridor of sound: bicycle bells, temple bells, hawkers calling, steam rising from roadside jalebi stalls. The streets of Old Delhi push and pull at your pace—Chandni Chowk’s lanes urge you to slow, Jama Masjid frames the sky, and the Red Fort’s red sandstone walls anchor the scene.
