Jama Masjid during Ramadan

Does anyone have any advice re: visiting Jama Masjid and Chandni Chowk during Ramadan?

I have lived in a Muslim country before during Ramadan so I'm aware of the fasting, etc. Just wondering if it would be advisable to visit this area at one time as opposed to another. My family is returning to the U.S. in one week.

Is the Jama Masjid open after sunset for tourists? Also, are the minarets open to tourists during sunset?

Visited there during Ramadan last year. We were asked to leave at sunset - was quite a peaceful scene with families sitting around getting fruit & picnics ready to break their fast.
