Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The bazaar of Chandni Chowk in Shahjahanabad, which is now part of Old Delhi, was indeed designed by Jahanara Begum, the daughter of Emperor Shah Jahan. Jahanara was a prominent and influential figure during the Mughal Empire, and she played a significant role in the architectural and cultural development of the empire.
She is known for her contributions to various architectural projects, and the design of Chandni Chowk is one of her notable accomplishments. The term "Chandni Chowk" means "Moonlit Square" or "Moonlit Market," and it was named so because the square was designed to be illuminated by moonlight. The market area has historical and cultural significance and remains a bustling and vibrant part of Old Delhi to this day.
