Hello from the streets of Chandni Chowk, one of Delhi’s oldest and busiest markets, filled with hand-pulled rickshaws and streams of people moving through narrow lanes as seen above. This photo is a part of a series called "Through my Eyes" that I have put together. The objective is to really make you see the chaos the way I saw and felt it at Chandni Chowk.
