Connaught Place has a long and distinguished history behind it. Named after the Duke of Connaught , a member of the British royal family , this market was designed by Designed by Robert Tor Russell in collaboration with WH Nicholls. A sprawling circular market , it was the largest of its kind in India at that time. The entire CP has white colonnades. The British believed that a market in the shape of a horseshoe would prove lucky for both shoppers and shopkeepers. There may be something in that as CP continues to be Delhi’s premier shopping destination even after sixty-five years of its birth. Apart from being the commercial and business hub of Delhi , CP has countless restaurants , watering holes , shops and emporia and cinema halls too , New Delhi , India
