Some Facts about Chandni Chowk….
For more than 60 years, the street artists and performers of India's north had lived in a slum area near Shadipur station in west Delhi. It was known as Kathputli Colony and was home to some 2800 families of magicians, snake charmers, acrobats, singers, dancers, henna artists, jugglers - and much more!
