Area Overview
What makes Dargah Chowk special
DARGAH CHOWK IS A JUNCTION, not a locality. CHOWK means a square or crossing.
It is a recognised landmark in the old city, used for directions rather than as an address.
A listing giving only this name has identified a crossing. Ask which locality it actually sits in.

Note: A JUNCTION, NOT A LOCALITY. “Chauraha” is the Hindi word for a crossroads and “chowk” for a square — landmarks people navigate by, which cannot serve as an address on a sale deed or a khasra search. Prices shown are indicative for the surrounding belt. ASK WHICH LOCALITY the property actually sits in.
