We took cycle rickshaws into old Delhi to see the Red Fort, Jama Masjid (largest mosque and the crowded markets - Chandni Chowk). We had the drivers take us to a saree place - what a hoot! The alleys got so narrow, the drivers had to get off and walk us the rest of the way. We went thru some crooked walkways, up some stairs and into a tiny loft (the ceiling was only 5feet, 3 inches, so I couldn't even stand up) and it was filled, wall to wall, floor to cieling with the most beautiful saree material. We sat on the floor and the owner proceeded to unfurl yard after yard after yard of gorgeous material. Devi and I each picked our favorite, they took our measurements and the outfits were delivered to our hotel that night!!! Wait til you see.
