The Indian flags are all up because it was just around Republic Day, January 26th. This is one of the back streets off Chandni Chowk. Near here, you can find a street of saris, which turns into a street of sewing machines. You can get pedal-operated sewing machines, and stands, brand new. Singar is a common brand.
It's very easy to get lost, but there are a few books with good maps including Seven Walks in Old Delhi. I've not really followed their routes, but the maps are very useful.
