Connaught Place, also known as CP, is a business and commercial centre with hotels, shopping complexes, and offices.
Tourist attractions include Hanuman Mandir, an ancient temple with a mention in Guinness Book of Record, Jantar Mantar, an astronomical observatory from the 18th century, Maharaja Agrasen ki Baoli and State Emporiums which houses a collection of ethnic specialities of the states.
Connaught Place is divided into two circles, called the inner and outer Connaught circle.
Janpath, an open-air shopping complex, lies on the road connecting the inner and outer circle with Palika Bazaar, a landmark market in the underground maze below Connaught Place.
