INDIA, OLD DELHI: FAITH TOUR

 December 23, 2025 

We had scheduled a tour called "Food and Faith." We had done the food part (see previous post), and so now it was time for the faith part.

We began with this typical street scene:

Except it wasn't typical, at least not in India:

Established in 1814, the Central Baptist Church is one of the oldest Christian churches in Delhi. It is located on a VERY busy road in the Chandni Chowk market area where we had just eaten a lot of delicious food.

It is a pretty building with a colonnaded porch with arched openings.

INDIA, OLD DELHI: CHANDNI CHOWK MARKET

Remember how I said you shouldn't drive as a tourist in India? You shouldn't cross the street by yourself either. There are no crosswalks or traffic lights and crossing takes a special kind of skill. This is one of the many harrowing experiences we had crossing with a guide, who in this video is holding on to Stan.

The way a lot of locals get around is in this little three wheelers that we came to know as tuk-tuks in Thailand. In India they call them rickshaws, and they function like taxis. These are one-seater taxis for one to three passengers.

Two-seaters can take four to six passengers, depending on how squished you want to be.

I can't remember if our guide rode with us. Maybe he was up in front.
