Nai Sarak

The other way to reach here is by taking a right turn from Chawri Bazar Road if coming from the Jama Masjid direction.

The market has also few wholesale shops of saris selling pure cotton, silk and embroidered ones among the many varieties available there.

When newly built, it was officially named Egerton Road but popularly called Nai Sarak.

It became a hub when publishers and booksellers from Lahore moved to Delhi after the partition of India, and subsequently set up shop here.

Apart from shops, the footpaths also have small makeshift stalls where second hand books are arranged on tables and stools.
