निकाह चिट्ठी  (WEDDING CARDS)

When i enter in the chawri bazaar there was a huge crowd and jam on the road.And i took a straight route from the gate no.3 of metro station i saw jama masjid,and there i found many card shops and GALI'S and when i have gone to shopkeeper asked for the interview some were excited some were not giving permission to do so. This is the main problem in chawri bazaar even my friend gone through this lines "MADAM MAALIK MANA KARTA HAI". But one or two shopkeeper were ready to tell me about why wedding card are so much famous in chawri?

Its a asia's biggest mandi of paper and wedding cards. The cards business started here during 70's.the business of paper started on the demands and needs of the people.I went to some shops i have seen many interesting motifs on cards the main motif was of GANESH JI. All sort of cards are available there.Mostly cards are of maroon,red,yellow and purple because these colors are related to marriage.

The motifs are written in many language Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi and English, different cards for every different communities. Most of the card are made of thick patterned sheets and hand made sheets glass printing on the card with the printing of bride and groom on card.  It was very colorful which attracts people to buy those cards.
