- Connaught Place,[1] including Janpath and Palika Bazaar. Robert Tor Russell's role in designing Connaught Place (CP), and his decision to break up the circle to give it a grander scale, demonstrates the thoughtful planning that went into the layout of the area. There is a huge park, Central Park, a park where shoppers and others can relax in the middle of CP.[2]
